Can I jump in? I'm also facing the same choice - thinking about which e-reader to acquire, and contemplating these three options. My priorities are a bit different, though. One important one is that I need the reader to display Cyrillic text. Many of my .txt format e-books are in Russian. Another one is that I own a lot of PalmReader e-books with DRM; can any of the readers display those? (yes, I can read them on the Palm, but the screen hurts my eyes after a while) One of the reasons I really don't want a Kindle is because I don't want any more #&$#$& DRM in my e-books. I already have $100 worth of books that can only be displayed on one device.

Also, do any of the readers have an automatic page-turn feature? I like to read as I practice the piano, and it's very convenient to set the Palm in front of me and set it to auto-scroll. Would be nice to do that with a better screen.
