I don't have much time right now, so I didn't read what other people said.
Purely my opinion.

Sony all the way.
I never ever believed I would be able to give up on my beautiful hardback editions (cannot stand paper backs because they fall apart, have broken spines and so on. It goes against everything my dad taught me about books). I bought sony as an alternative for 1-2-3 heavy hardbacks I used to take with me on every holiday.
Never read a paper book again since Jan 2007.

Sony is all an ebook reader should be me. It reminds me a lot a real book while being a gadget. It helps to retain the proper atmosphere when you read a book. You never think that you hold a gadget in your hands, but manuscript

I almost never leave house without it nowdays.
