I am on a limited budget £100 -£150 and the Kindle at £109 fits that budget nicely. Any sugestions, comments etc. would be helpful and as I live in the UK not all readers are available to me.

The screen size will be noticeable, but you'll get the biggest difference from the screen type (LCD vs. eInk).
Since you are looking for a pocketable device, the Kindle really isn't a good choice. The device has a large frame around the screen and won't fit well in most pockets. You might want to look into picking up a Cybook Opus, which has the same screen size, but is an overall smaller device. I have no trouble putting it in my pocket - even with the protective case on it.
Also, your epubs from your Archos won't move over to the Kindle without some sort of conversion since the Kindle only supports its proprietary format.
