My much preferred and favorite ereader is the Sony PRS-350, which is still going strong after over 4 years. Great build, sturdy, and firmware with PRS+ added is just rock solid, no issues ever.
But the reader I use most often now is the Kobo Glo only because of the front light. It's just slightly larger than the 5" Sony because of no buttons (buttons or no buttons, doesn't matter to me at all, although the extra functions you could assign to the Sony buttons with PRS+ was great) so the Glo 6" screen fits into the same pockets and small purses. And I really need the light around 50% of the time while reading, I use it out of the house as much as inside, so I gave in to the convenience of not having to carry around a light and extra battery. The hardware is about near perfect on it, but I find the firmware on it extremely lacking and annoying. But once you get into a book, it's not that bad if you stick to a firmware with the least amount of bugs and annoyances that bother you.
