For example, they both made pretty good devices, no? From my perspective, the Kindle Fire is a non-starter. (blackbook redux.) but the e-ink readers are too cheap not to get one. Sorry about being wishy washy... being a newbie, I don't even know what I should ask.
Here's what you should ask yourself -

Is convenience or flexibility more important to you? Do you keep books and reread them or are you a 'one read and done' reader? Do you prefer old books or new (modern) books? Do you read library books or do you buy (although this question is not as important as it once was, it's still a consideration)? Do you care about style/looks? Is price your primary consideration, or useful features?

Every reader has its pros and cons (and most have some workaround for the 'cons') - but no one here can tell you what's important to you.

I agree you don't need more than one reader - it would be more economical to spend a bit more for one that has the features you want than to buy two different readers.
