Device: Pocketbook Touch HD3 (Past: Kobo Mini, PEZ, PRS-505, Clié)
Sony Clié: couple of types; I forget exactly; I used the PDAs as ereaders until the batteries wouldn't hold a charge anymore and they were so obsolete I couldn't get decent replacements.

Sony PRS-505. Favorite so far; the standard against which I measure other ereaders. Edges out Pocket Pro by showing title/author of RTF files from the metadata instead of the filename.

Jetbook. Lasted about 2 weeks--gave to daughter; screen cracked in her purse. Warranty didn't cover it (Sony covered a broken substrate). Decided that if it was that fragile it didn't need replacing; haven't considered a Jetbook reader since.

GemStar Reader. Worked with a for a few weeks; the software was old and didn't want to cooperate. Gave up.

Astak Pocket Pro: 2nd favorite so far; would probably be favorite if the html and doc support didn't suck. Have owned two. Batteries won't hold a charge anymore.

Sony PRS-300: bought for husband; borrow occasionally.

Sony PRS-600: Borrowed from a friend when PRS-505 was stolen. Screen glare annoying.

Kobo Mini: new reader. Disappointed in rtf and html support, although not as bad as the Pocket Pro. Not fond of touchscreen.

Still looking for something that works as well as the 505 but with a faster processor.
