I just saw this and anxiously awaiting to hear more.
At first, I didn't like the Sony at all as I was so used to the font/spacing/page turning on my Kindle. I found that I had to put my Kindle away for a week to give the Sony a fair shake.
I also hated the Sony software but that obstacle was quickly removed as I learned to use (and love) Calibre.
Although I can now switch back/forth easily, I found the Sony was easier to slide into my handbag without sacrificing screen size/clarity. Having page numbers was a big plus. Likewise, I loved the ability to organize into Collections (although having set up a Jetbook for my mom, my big wish is for a second level of folders). The Sony is now my primary reader.

Although I loved my Kindle, I bought a used Sony PRS-505 for the same reason...and then found myself doing the DRM dance so I could put my Kindle books on my Sony
Amazon still has a big edge in the convenience of its store and where I do most of my book buying.

If that's your only justification
