KOBO vs Sony Ereader Pocket

This is my first post on mobile read.

I'm looking to compare the KOBO and the Ereader Pocket

KOBO:
- Has a slightly bigger screen
- Has a SD Card slot, strange that it limits 4 gig expansion but I don't think I would fill 4 gigs up ever.
- Only supports ePub well, it does PDF but most people are saying 6" is too small for that anyways
- Ugly blue button

Sony:
- Supports more formats
- Has been out for a while and seem to get good reviews
- Number buttons to allow "GO TO Page" option

Can both do the ePubs from a Library? It seems that you would be able to, but I'm not sure if this is a nod to Sony.

I'm in Canada and the KOBO will be available on Saturday for $150 and the Sony is currently on sale for $170.

This would be my first ereader, and I'm really just looking for something to read on. I don't need any bells or whistles.
