I am really liking my SonyTouch PRS650. It is small and light, lets you turn pages with a finger swipe or a button, and lets you check out books from the library. That was a real deal-maker for me, since I read quite fast and do not want to buy all those books! I had tried other readers, and found that the page turns were too slow for my taste. My PRS650 has the fastest page turns of any I tried (nook, Kindle, older Sony PRS 600). I was also leary of getting something backlit like the iPad, because of the tales I'd read about eye strain. I have had no trouble with eye strain whatsoever, so far anyway.
Hope this helps you with your decision. Now I am looking for a cover that doesn't smell like an oil refinery (had a bad experience with one!)
