Here's my advice, bigmat1201:
1) Listen to every one on this thread and on this site. Look at those critics who can see value in the different devices - those who are fair-minded, able to analyze both the strengths and weaknesses of the devices they're familiar with.
2) Listen, as well, to the tone of that advice. How does a writer (I include myself) come across to you? Arrogant? Sincere? Understanding? God's right-hand advisor?
3) Look at the ergonomics of the different devices.
4) Look at the content-value of the devices. (Do you read mainly Fiction or Non-Fiction?
5) Look at the different formats available from each device.
6) Look at personal horror stories. (Device Failure.)
7) Look at successful stories of ownership.
8) Look at front-engine managment. (Sony's store, for example: some people like it, whereas most people seem not to like it. For me, it's ok.)
9) Look at the "Library" of available ebooks for the device(s) you're considering.
10) Look to see if anyone has a personal agenda in "bashing" a device.
And always - ALWAYS - smile when you're reading.
Have Fun!
