My Sony T1 is great, but since I'm reading an insane amount lately I need to have an even backlit/frontlit/whatever screen like the PW/Kobo. I've seen the PW in stores and it looked great. The Kobo looks even better even on Youtube videos. The Nook Glowlight bar at the top of the screen was annoying to me when I viewed it in store, the reviews aren't as good, and it's the most outdated ereader now anyways.
That being said I'm planning to stick with the PW and my T1 for now and maybe get the PW2 when it comes out. They'll probably make it look a little bit better.
The second biggest factor for me is battery life. The PW seems to get about 28 hrs, the Nook Glowlight is rated at 1 month so I'm guessing it's about half that, the Aura is rated at 2 months so let's say 28 hrs, but my T1 only gets about 14-16 hours before it gets to low bars which drives me crazy. I would love to have 28 hr battery life.
Everything is so easy to convert now with Calibre that I don't mind if Kindle only supports several formats, and I don't mind if the Aura ereader store is subpar because drm is so easy to strip.

Oh, I see now.
It's good to have options and you will enjoy the PW.
