I have read that if you hit the back button, you can move a Demo Kindle out of Demo mode and really play with it.
The other option is to check the bookstores and figure out which one you are most comfortable with.
In all honesty, the devices are all getting to the point that they are pretty similar to each other. There is not much that differentiates a Kindle from a Nook from a Sony from a Kobo.
I would say that Nook and Kindle are your top two choices. The new Sony is having some problems with pages flashing forward and then then touch screen being unresponsive. There is a topic on this in the Sony forum, the poll there indicates that close to half of the Sony TS1 users on this site are experiencing this problem. The Kobo has a slower page turn and does not have as many goodies as the Kindle and the Nook.
Nook has e-pub which allows you to shop at more stores then Kindle. I am not sure it is that big a deal. Agency Pricing means that the books from the major publishers are priced the same at all the major stores and you cannot use coupons. So if you read books mainly from the bog publishers, then you are going to get the same price at Amazon and all the other book stores. Not to mention, Amazon has the largest e-book collection so you are likely to find the book you are looking for in their bookstore.
Amazon has great customer support. I have heard mixed reviews about BN. Sometimes it has been great sometimes not so stellar.
I have the K1, the DXG, and the K3. I love them all. My Mother has a DXG which she loves. My Brother and Sister-in-Law have a DXG and a K2 which they love. My Nephew has a K3 which he loves. And then there are aunts, uncles, and cousins....
I also know of all Nook, Sony, and Kobo familes.
Get a feel for the devices and figure out which ones feels best to you. Check out the bookstores and see which one is easiest for you to use and has the books you want.
