My 1st eink reader was the Nook 1st gen. It was a bad decision. The reason was bad was because I did not check the B&N library 1st to validate the kind of titles that I usually read: computer books. I was having issues finding any books besides the battery was not good and had some firmware issues at that time.
So I made a requirement myself, that I always try to suggest to newbies here: focus on the books you like and check the online bookstore. You can choose two or three and compare, like B&N vs Sony, or Sony vs Kindle, or Kindle vs B&N, etc. The better prices or more titles should give you an idea of what you need.
That advice probably won't apply to folks in Europe, because B&N is not there, but I think checking the online bookstore is a nice start.
I later move to Kindle 3 and iPad 2 and happy so far!
