I'm in the UK so the selection is not as good as that in the US. I've narrowed it down to

Kindle, Sony, Kobo
Of the ones you mention, I'd recommend the Kindle for anyone in the UK. Mainly because of their terrific customer service. Having said that, I did read somewhere that they might not be quite as generous with replacements for the new models as they have been with the Kindle 3 models.

Have you considered getting the CyBook Opus? Granted, it's not the most up-to-date ebook reader, using visiplex eInk rather than pearl eInk, but it is hi-res (200dpi), and is currently only £50 from Waterstones!

Oh - and it also reads ePub. (& mobipocket if you switch to the other official firmware.)
