Well, I went with a Sony because of the price and the unicode patch. I only buy .lit files and convert to .lrf. I don't know how long Sony will be in the ebook business, but its lack of advertising for the Sony Reader, lack of a firmware release for the PRS-505 (after promising better support for pdf?) make me skeptical. However, the 505 was significantly cheaper than going with a Kindle or Gen3, and I can read Korean files on it. And.. calibre turned out to be a hidden benefit. Absolutely love my Reader, but the unicode patch is a little messy and I wish Sony supported putting your own fonts on to it natively, especially because I don't like the sony reader native fonts. Do not look good in small print on e-ink screens.
