Well -- all three get recommendations from their current owners. I'm a bit of a gadget-o-phile and would like to have one of each. I have a Kindle which is loaded with many books in the MobiPocket format. I bought a Sony Reader because there were a number of books posted here at MobileRead that were only in the Sony format. (I can be lazy at times and although I know I could go track down the source and build a MobiPocket version -- there are times that I just want to read and not have to wait until the building is done.)
So if you're looking at the library here -- you'll find more books in Sony format than in any other. If you are looking to *buy* books -- particularly current releases -- you may be better off with a device that supports MobiPocket since that appears to be the more prevalent version found in the various online bookstores. Also, I don't know of any public libraries that offer books in Sony format -- just MobiPocket and PDF. While the Sony can display PDF books, I think it might be difficult to read a PDF that was formatted for a larger page size. I've not tried it, but I don't know that the Sony offers pan-and-zoom options like you find on a PC. I could be wrong, though.
