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.
And the lack of library support on the kindle in the UK - this was the deal breaker for me so my decision was a 2 horse race between the Sony and Kobo and £50 more for the Sony meant Kobo was my choice
