Nook
- Book lending
- ePub and ePub with DRM support
Unfortunately the lending and ePub is pretty high on my list, so if the Kindle supported this it would be the perfect device. With that being said I'm really starting to lean more towards the Kindle since I have a HUGE collection of PDF's and at least for DRM-free ePub files I can convert them to PDF or Mobi format and use them on the Kindle.

Have you taken a peek at the sony reader daily edition? From what i can tell the PDF support is much on the sony's are better than the Kindle 3 and moving around and searching using touch is great. (At the cost of some contrast).
I have the Sony PRS-600 and it's a bit small for reading a lot of PDF's, however I do keep many PDF files on it for easy reference and searching.
I seem to recall reading in a different thread that announcements from Sony tended to be leaked in the autum, and since I've also heard that Amazon has an pearl-screen exclusive for 6 month there might be many new announcements or leaks from B&N, Sony and the other manufacturers around the time the Kindle 3 is actually released.
