Welcome to the forum, RickV. You've obviously been researching your options well. There are more ebooks available for the Kindle right now than for the Sony, although fortunately I've not seen too many titles I wanted that were only for the Kindle. Both of these have a long way to go before you'll find books from all of your preferred authors in ebook form. As to your daughter's college texts, I think you should put that out of mind, at least for now. The number of textbooks available for portable readers is miniscule and I think you would be crippling her if she had to read them on one of these devices. They are great for reading something from beginning to end and while you can flip between sections it's nowhere near as easy as with a nice big textbook (did I say nice??). I've tried using my Sony for work activities and it just doesn't cut it usually.
