Note that the 770/N800 are usually shown in "landscape" mode, i.e. 800 wide by 480 high (90 by 54 mm). I use FBReader that way too, although it can be rotated into any of the four possible orientations. The screen is identical on the two Nokias.
The Sony Reader is usually shown in portrait mode, 600 wide by 800 high (90 by 121 mm). It can be used in either landscape or portrait mode.
So the Nokia's have more pixels per inch, and are as wide as but are about half as high as the Sony. The Sony screen aspect ratio is certainly more book-like than the others.
For web browsing, 800 pixels wide is often enough (and 640 is often not enough). So the Nokia's are probably better than the HTC. However, both screens are so small that you may have to zoom and then the 800 pixel advantage is largely lost. I find the 7 inch PepperPad 3 screen is much better for web browsing than the Nokia 770's 4 inchs.
