Welcome, LMM.
The various formats eliminates the Kindle as an option. The ability to read your books on different devices is more dependent on what type of ebooks you have. You'll need non-DRM epubs for that. Generally that means you will have to buy epubs and remove the DRM yourself (lots of threads about that here at MR). Right now Sony sells lrx's, but they are going all epub at the end of the year and you'll be able to re-download any books you get from them in epub format. All the devices allow you to keep copies of your ebooks on your computer or discs, etc, so that shouldn't be an issue.
I recommend thinking about what you like to read (e.g. sci-fi, classics, best-sellers or newspapers), how you read (e.g. what font size) and where you read. This will help you set criteria and narrow down your options.
