Well, I've finally caved in and bought a Kindle. I've always been reluctant to go for anything with a proprietary format, but I spotted several history books for Kindle that were appreciably cheaper than the ebooks for Sony (as priced at Waterstone's). Given time, the Kindle could end up paying for itself in the money I save on books, plus the fact that the books don't take up any shelf space. In fact, I've just downloaded 4 books for the princely sum of £4.83!
Yes, I still have my Sony Reader and it will be useful for reading classics, which I will get free from Project Gutenberg. That was the original reason I went for Sony - Kindle doesn't support ePub. But it looks like my Kindle will be used for reading more up-to-date books.
I've had it for less than 24 hours and I love it already.

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. It has been compiled and recompiled many times and under many different editorships. It contains contributions from countless numbers of travellers and researchers."
