The white model runs Android 2.0 and has a variety of custom firmwares (unofficial) available over on slatedroid. This lets you soup up the processor, add google market, etc.
The black model runs Android 1.5 or 1.6 (I think). I think it has less RAM and a slower processor as well. Older Android means less apps will work on it.
The white one is a good buy (was a great buy at 60 dollars when Kohls had them on clearance). I actually use mine pretty much exclusively as a reader. The stock reader app works pretty well, and I have Kindle, Alkido, and AdobeX on there too. The screen isn't great, but properly adjusted it works fine for me.

Good run-down.
There are now 2 officially supported firmware versions for the white PDN. The 11/19 firmware that has the B&N library/store/reader app as the primary interface... and the 1/14 Open Platform that turns the white PDN into a generic Android tablet with book reading capabilities.
The black PDN runs 1.5. It is a fine device as-is but is far more limited in terms of hackability and expandability.
