I understand Kobo Glo has a better screen resolution but then Sony has a better Japanese/English Dictionary?
Quite frankly, I'm praying that my Sony 505 lives forever, 'cuz what I saw today didn't impress me in the least. Personally, I have no need of any of the newer features, wi-fi, touch screens, annotations, or even dictionaries. I went there thinking of picking up a Kobo, just because they were inexpensive and would serve as an epub backup for me should something happen to my reader, but after reading on it for 5 minutes, I really didn't care for the screen. There were 'ghost' letters on both the Touch and the Glo. At least as compared with the Sonys. The Kindle did have a whiter page look to it, but even that didn't move me to want to buy it.

Of all that I saw, if forced to choose, I'd go with the one that I bought for my wife, the PRS-650. According to my wife, it has a very good dictionary.
