I like them both. If I absolutely had to give one up, I'd keep the Kindle. It's not as sleek as the Sony, but the Amazon catalog more than makes up for the aesthetics. I find it slightly more difficult to turn pages on the Sony. The keys are smaller and more stiff, so I sometimes don't press hard enough. Of course, there's a downside to the keys on the Kindle -- when I hand the Kindle to someone else they invariably wind up turning pages when they didn't intend to.
I didn't know about the Sony until after I had ordered the Kindle and subsequently discovered MobileRead. I saw one in a Borders Bookstore about a month after I got my Kindle and realized then that I could be happy with it. When the opportunity came to buy one second-hand, I jumped at it. I'm hoping to convince my daughter to read with it. But in the meantime, I'm enjoying several of the books that our own Dr. Drib has uploaded to the forum here @ MobileRead.
