Some nice features of the Palm reader software that would be nice to implement in future OS upgrades for the Sony Reader:

1) remember the last page read in a book, even after opening other books. This is automatic and is independent of any bookmarks manually set.

2) the ability to reverse foreground/background colors -- in some situations it's easier to read light text on dark background, even without backlighting.

3) scrolling with the speed user-adjustable so the device can be used like a teleprompter.

But to compare between the Sony reader and the Palm reader software (either mobipocket or Palm Reader), there is no comparison, the Sony is a much, much nicer, much more book-like experience, and fits the hand much more like a book does.
