I'm afraid there's a bit of misinfomation here. You can put books in Kindle in the same way than Sony, with an USB cable. In Sony you put them in ePub or LRF, in Kindle in Mobipocket, but you can obtain all of them through calibre, if they're DRM free. In other case, yes, with Sony you have more selection if you go to ePub.
For me, size is a big matter, because I carry it to everywhere, library view is important for choosing books and format is important too (I like Mobipocket format better than ePub). So, I've got a Gen3 and an Opus, and I like more the Opus because I feel it easier to use. But I only read novels in it, of course, I want nothing else (and nothing less).
