They seem to have similar specs except the kindle has a keyboard, but is bigger. Which would you suggest I get?
You can only use either Amazon kindle books or de-DRM'd books in mobi/prc format (or txt or PDF) on the Kindle, while Sony's Readers can accept DRM'd epub, which is becoming most common - especially in British bookshops.

You could look for a Sony 505 in other EU countries beside Britain. I saw one sold through amazon.de for 198 EUR or thereabout. Don't know if they ship to Britain, but it might be worth taking a look.
