Kindle 2 hot to touch. Sony too cool look.

I keep moving back and forth between Kindle II and the yet to be released Sony Daily Edition.

These are the only readers that come with a dictionary and I particularly like the one touch instant word reference on the Sony.
The cumbersome joystick on the Kindle is step-step-step- step-step-step- step, OK. The Wikipedia is a big bonus.

The Kindle 2 is too big for a 6" reading device. Why do we need a keyboard on a reader? Is the Kindle made for writing books too?
If Im going to carry a reader with me that big, then it better give me more reading space.

The Sony Daily Edition elegantly fits more in to less space, looks sensible, does not stand out and comes with a nice cover. But the down side is the glossy display. This is not good for e-ink, since we need a source of light to see the display. Maybe it wont be so bad.,?
Will an anti-glare screen protector help? Im not sure it will.

Here are some links to the glaring PRS-900

Still undecided.
