I am trying to convince my wife to take the plunge on an ereader, so would like some opinions. We don't need WiFi, 3G, music playback or any other bells and whistles - just a 6 inch (or larger) eInk screen that looks fantastic.

epub / mobi doesn't matter, so a Kindle is an option. I'm just wondering if anyone has done screen comparisons between the Kobo/Nook/Kindles/SONY's to see which one truly is the best for ebook reading (novels, mainly). I have a PRS-300 already, so you can use that as a baseline.

I had done some quick tests myself back in the summer, and I recall that the Nook/Kobo looked pretty darn good, but I've never gotten my hands on a Kindle.

Thanks in advance, and sorry if this has been asked before.
