People focus on the hardware part too much, in my opinion.

While having an ereader with nice capabilities it's important, being able to find good books in the online store its important as well. Unless you're going to read books without copyright restrictions, the online bookstore plays a big role.

My 1st ereader was a Nook, 1st gen. I was thrilled with it until I discover few or none of my IT books were available on B&N . To make things worse, it had no landscape mode.

Since then, I pick one with the strongest and biggest collection; here in USA that's Amazon, so I'm talking about the Kindle.

My preference of books may or may not be the same for you so your choice can be different as well.
