I think you need to add the proviso, "if you use Calibre" they're about equal. I don't have a Kobo Mini (not yet, I won one on Shop Goodwill – so I should soon) but I think the software is pretty much like the software on the Kobo Touch, which means you have several fonts to choose from, line space adjustments, margin adjustments, etc. I'm comfortable setting up my books for my Sonys in Calibre (using Constantia and setting my margins and line spacing there) but many people probably wouldn't be.
For build quality and font clarity and contrast, I think the Sony is more than equal to Kobos (the ones I've seen anyhow, the Glo and Touch). But the Kobo has many more features (at least than a stock Sony, I'm not sure what PRS+ would add to the mix).
