Ok, I will most likely start a big argument here but here goes. There is no one best reader for all people, which is best for you is determined by what you want. Some ereaders excell at different things and each reader has some things that stand out. What is your analysis of the feature that make an ereader stand out, among them include:

Nook - The good: has better interface than either the Kindle or Sony, in store tech support (try to go to an amazon store or Sony, amazon does not have stores and while sony does have stores they are fairly rare unlike barns and nobels stores), has glow light. The ugly: No keyboard model, some people like keyboards.

Sony - The good: Has a public library feature which will directly connect you to a public library in your area. The ugly: Cost more than either a nook or a kindle, no keyboard model.

Kindle - Has more different models available then either nooks or sonys, Amazon has built a reputation for great tech support, a starting price kindle costs less then either a nook or sony. The ugly: No place where you can walk in and talk to tech support.
