Just compare the hardware specs of current Sony readers with the Onyx Boox i62 Firefly (I got the 8Gb storage version with 256 Mb system RAM).

I have a PRS-650, which I like so much that I never thought I'd replace it until it died. However, after trying out a friend's Kindle PW I'd really like a lighted reader, the quality of the Kindle display is amazing. I will never buy a Kindle, however, due to Amazon's policies.
I can wait for a while, the PRS-650 is just as good as it's always been. I really hope Sony regains their senses when it comes to a lighted screen, but if not I might go with the Kobo Glo (hope they get annotation synching sorted, I get the impression they are good at updating their FW). I checked out the Onyx Firefly, but it seems that the lighting is inferior to other readers, and that it has other disadvantages as well. We have had a few of the older Boox models at work, but they sadly hat a lot of flaws both in software and hardware, making me wary of buying a Boox.
