Well ... It depends.
If you are from USA, the path of least resistance is to buy Sony Reader PRS505. Or perhaps Kindle, if you would like to buy e-books from Amazon with one click from a device.
If you are from Europe and you have BIG budget for getting a reader buy an Illiad.
Tell us where are you from (just continent, or a region - like North America, or Central Europe, or Australia), how are you planning to get your books, what books do you like (each reading device supports different kind of DRM), how big a budget you have ...

The advice I can give you without knowing more is just:
buy a reader with an e-ink display.

I personally have Sony Reader PRS500 and I am very satisfied.
