I currently own a Nook Simple Touch, Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight, Kindle Basic (Kindle 4, non-touch), Kindle Touch, Sony PRS-T2 and a Kobo Glo.

I use the two Kindles the most because Amazon has a larger selection of books and cheaper prices (usually). And it's easier to borrow books with the Kindles (I don't have to worry about ADE -- but I do live in the United States.) The Kindle Nooks were my first eReaders and -- purely going by the devices -- they're still my favorite. The only front-lit eReader that works well for me is the Nook Simple Touch w/Glowlight -- which is odd because it's about the oldest "front-lit" Reader out there. I like the Sony PRS-T2, but in dimmer light, the lighter fonts are harder for my eyes to see -- and I'm usually not reading in bright light. If the library only has ePub for a particular title, the T2 is my "go to" reader because it has built-in ADE and I can borrow the book directly from the library with it. And then there's the Kobo Glo -- technically the most advanced of all my readers. More customizable. Fairly modern front lighted screen -- which looks good ... except for when I try to read on it. I find myself constantly tweaking with it and but I just get comfortable reading it. It probably has more to do with the condition of my eyes than the build of the reader. I don't know. I also don't like the way I have double or triple tap the Glo to get it turn the page. I'll probably sell this one -- but still trying to see if I can find a "comfortable" way to use it.

Anyhow, for what it's worth.
