For reading novels, the Sony PRS-505 is excellent. Yes, eInk screens do take about 1 second to refresh, but that's faster than you can turn the page of a book, and you very quickly get used to it.

The Reader fully supports Vista - both 32 and 64-bit versions.

I have to ask - is there any particular reason that you only considered the Sony Reader and the Kindle? There are many other excellent eBook readers available besides those two.
I've been looking at the BeBook as well, but I'm kind of leary because it's fairly new. I looked at the Iliad as well but I'm not impressed by the functionality. Are there others I should look at?
