You don't say where you are in the UK but if you can make it to South London then I'm happy to show you my Kindle. PDF's are a pain on any 6" ereader but larger ereaders are a pain to carry around. The Sony has a cleaner interface and is smaller while the Kindle has a direct connection to the internet, text to speech and of course you can buy ebooks directly from the device. The Sony is supposed to have a slightly less clear screen but I really couldn't see the difference. Both have quite nice covers available to them.

If you're not in a rush then there's a bunch of new devices coming out in August ie Kindle 3.
