Just to briefly add: Sony 900 has the option to sort by "last read".
You manually (as opposed to Kindle) can enter your actual time and date, so the sorting function works flawlessly.
(Whereas on Kindle, without Whispernet, your internal clock shows 1970 and all books are sorted in the opposite order).
There's a single downside to the Sony 900 (please Sony, fix it in a firmware update): For now, you only can enter the US timezones. I've chosen "Pacific time", which is 5 hours different from my German timezone. When syncing via PC, Sony 900 changes the internal clock: PC time minus 5 hours.
Should be easy to solve in a firmware update: Just add all the timezones, please.

Just ordered iRex 800. I'm looking forward to compare touchscreens.
