Thanks for all the advice, everyone. I spent a few hours on each device yesterday in the store, and on the Sony since you all kept recommending that as well. Ive also read several tech sites that compare the readers with each other, and looking through the stores (because even though I can and will liberate and reformat books, it's still that little bit quicker) I've decided to get a Kobo Touch - the other two devices, IMO, are vastly inferior in every aspect that matters to me.
