I should have added that I am a woman who had used a Sony PRS-T1 and PRS-T3 and recently switched to a Kobo Clara. The small size was more important to me than the other features that are offered on the larger Kobo readers. Of course everyone has different priorities.
The differences I have noticed the most since switching are:
1. (This is obvious) Lack of buttons. Wish the Kobo at had at least a "home" button.
2. The dictionaries (Sony was better).
3. Search within a book. On the Sony if you highlighted a word to search you then could move backward or forward one instance at a time from your current location.
On the Kobo if you highlight a word to search it shows you a list of every instance in the book - depending on what you are searching for this list may be many pages long.
The Sony method is better if you just want to quickly go back to the most recent instance of the word. The Kobo is better if you want to quickly find the first instance, but is cumbersome if you are well into the book and just want to find the most recent instance.
