It all depends on how are you planning to buy your books, if u want to mainly but from amazon then go with kindle, if you plan to read mainly freely available ebooks (such as public domain books etc...) then go with JBL.
I chose JBL and bought a used one 2 months ago and i'm quite content with it. i charge it about once a week (depends on my reading) and it's really nicely built etc...
I didn't buy Kindle coz i value my privacy and i wanted a reader that supports open standards with an expansion slot and with support of foreign languages, and yes i hate DRM. I mainly read classic works so getting books isn't a problem though JBL supports DRMed formats (but not amazon's).
