Epub support is a definate plus for Sony. I prefer the ePub format over the AMZ format, but I'm kind of glad that Amazon doesn't support ePub, because I can remove the AMZ DRM but not the ePub DRM.
We do know that Sony's PDF support will be better, because it is already better on the Sony Touch. I agree, though, that the Daily is not a competitor to the KDX but rather to the Kindle 2. This makes the Daily's price a significant issue.

The ePub DRM can also be removed, see Adobe ADEPT DRM for EPUB circumvented.
