I tried out and used these models and ended up with the Kindle:
B&N Nook wi-fi (nice device but did not like the touch screen)
Sony Reader Pocket Edition (wanted a larger screen)
Jetbook Lite (purchased it and was a defect out of the box, so returned it)
Pandigital Novel (LCD hurt my eyes to read on)
I am legally blind (visually impaired) so that plays a huge part in what I bought. The screen contrast on the Kindle for my eyes was better than others that I have tried. The screen on the Jetbook Lite was grey, which made text hard to read for me. I do not want to sound like a Kindle fanboy, but you know what....I am. The device has made me very happy. Now I can read books without the eyestrain that I get from paper book and 10X prism reading glasses. I do not want to harp on this, but it does mean a lot to me (tear), the Kindle is allowing me to read for 30 minutes at a time in comfort and enjoyment. I have never been able to do that before with reading glasses or large print books. I am very pleased with the Kindle 3 Wi-Fi.
