I wouldn't consider the Sony for 2 reasons:

1.The touchscreen the Sony uses is on top of the reading screen. As the 700 and 600 show the screen is not as good for reading as the Irex's which uses a touch screen layer below the screen.

2.The screen size of the Sony is too small, it is still not suitable for newspapers and such.

I would have been happy with the Irex 800, but they don't include WiFi. So for me the Que looks most promising -- unless they start selling an 800 or 1000 with WiFi at an attractive price soon.
