Hi Johny. I was recently faced with the same decision.
From what I have read here and around the web, Nook is not a good choice as they seem to be not offering much support and may be getting out of the reader business.
Kobo seems to have a lot of trouble with firmware not working properly. So if you want the best, Kobo is probably not it.
I have had 2 Sony readers, PRS 505 purchased in 2007 and more recently the PRS T2. I have been thoroughly pleased with my Sony readers. I still love my T2, but I now want a model that includes front lighting. Sony does not offer a front lit model (and is no longer selling in the US) so that led me to search for other models.
In my search for a front lit model. I chose the Kindle PW2. They seem to have the most reliable product by far for what I am looking for. I don't have my PW2 yet, but I did get to try a PW1 in a local store and it seems to perform well.
So if you want a light, I would choose the PW2. If the light is not important, the Sony or the Kindle would be good options.
