My reason for getting the Sony Pocket Edition is that its $100 cheaper than a Kindle. I also like that it is compatible with word documents.

So, any advice? Also, I think I'd possibly be able to see a Sony Reader at a store like Target (I HOPE) so I can see size and how the buttons work, etc.
It's implied in some of the posts, but to expressively state it: You don't have to solely rely on Sony's BBeB format. You can use ePUB as well, which is available from various sources.
It's Adobe Digital Editions and already widely accepted as kind of the standard format to be.
