Maybe off topic. Hope not.

I bought a Kobo Mini 3 days ago on impulse and have to say that the reading experience is far better than Sony T1 and Kindle 3. Overall it is just nicer and easier to read and this is on the tiny model.

Display is more paper-like
Easy to change fonts, font weights, line spacing, margins. And the fonts appear crisper
Page turns seem faster and more transparent even when refreshing.
Virtually no glare.
Small, light, so easy to hold you almost don't notice you are holding it.

Caveats:
No buttons which took me an hour to learn to deal with.
Occasional freeze which can be fixed instantly by swiping instead of tapping.

I am a bit upset that I no longer want to read on my T1 despite the larger screen size.

The Kobo Mini is my first Kobo and I am totally impressed.
