Unfortunately, the Nook seems mostly to duplicate the traits of my Kindle 2 by being a sort of general purpose reader. I'm still curious, because if B&N releases a second more specialized reader, it will probably have many Nookish <heh> traits.

Yes the SONY devices are very sleek and portable. Right now there are a number of 5" devices that are very portable.
My feeling is they will not be focusing on devices but focusing on selling their DRM license. Like they did to Adobe. That means that their eBooks (ePUB) will be accessible to more devices.

And I'll say it first....If B&N comes with a smaller portable version of the Nook that is oriented towards travel, I'm eager to get a little Nookie! :-)

The SONY models have folders (SONY calls them collection). Buy a iPhone/storm it's a 3" screen and very portable.
