I am so sick of reading this. You can buy books for the Kindle from other book stores. There are many stores that sell books in Mobi that you can read on a Kindle without converting.
You cannot buy books from B&N, Kobo, or Sony and read those on a Kindle right away. You can strip DRM and convert books if you are comfortable technologically and ethically with that.
If you are concerned about price, the Kindle, Kobo, and Nook are all in the same price range.
I would recommend the Kindle. Of the three that are similarly priced, it has the easiest to use dictionary and note taking ability. Amazon's e-books store is the largest and Amazons customer service is amazing. It also has the best screen of those three.
If you want to pay a bit more look at the Sonys. The only Sony I would consider buying is the 950 because I strongly prefer my ereader to have at least WiFi if not 3G connectivity. I love being able to download books without having to worry about having a computer near by.
The other feature I love on the Kindle is the synching ability. I have a K1 and a DXG and use Kindle 4 PC. Being able to have my device sync is great.
