Yes, depends on needs (such as budget) and tech skills. Rooting, DRM stripping and such are things to take into account. They take know-how and time.
Many posters have multiple devices to read multiple formats. Sometimes that's because they've previously bought one device and want to expand formats. For someone starting from scratch, a $500 iPad (low-end model) is worth considering if he wants widest access to books on one device. For $500, you get a host of other functions on iPad. You also have resale value down the road.
Of course, many people aren't interested in multi-use functions or LCD, so we're back to personal preferences and needs.
