Well, I'm mainly looking for the most versatile choice of formats. From what I've read here so far, the Kindle, Sony, and Cybook all have their pros and cons. (The Iliad is just too much scratch for me right now.) I'd pretty much decided on the Kindle when both Sony and Bookeen released firmware updates to improve readability of pdf's (and added ePub in the case of Sony). The Kindle update rumors had me hesitating for a while, and now there are rumblings that Sony may release an OS X version of their software soon. It's a bad time to be a procrastinator.
So far the Kindle is ahead mainly for the wireless connection and Amazon's effort to bring other non-book reading material to the e-reader format, like magazines and newspapers. Plus I've always received good support from Amazon after a couple of messed up orders. Plus, Lord help me, I actually like that 1970's appliance look it has.
