on the sony firmware, the home screen is focused on reading and only reading. if you want to access any other feature, you just have to switch to the "applications" tab. i don't like how the homescreen on the kobo changes everytime you access something new, like the handwiting app or a game or on syncing. whenever you sync on kobo, the suggestions tile would always show up...is there a way to turn this off?
sony also compartmentalizes pictures from books. kobo doesn't care to make a difference. you can also select among the pictures you want to use as the standby screen. and the dictionary on sony is definitely better.
the only thing i don't like about the sony firmware is that extra fonts you want to use are a lot more difficult to load.
it is true that the kobo firmware is infinitely more customizable, but bugs plague that benefit for me.
