In response to the exchange between Dinghy and ProfCrash, in terms of an ereader to simply read books on (so ignoring things like audio for MP3s, TTS, web browsing, rooting/jailbreaking devices), there seems to be very little to choose between the PRS-T1, Kindle Touch & Kobo Touch (the big three in the UK) - except the price.

They cost £130, £110 & £80 respectively.

There's maybe some small things, but apart from the epub/mobi format, the only significant difference is the level of customer support behind the Kindle. Whether it's worth £30 over the Kobo is debatable. I can't see why anyone would spend £50 more to buy the Sony over the Kobo.
