The main issue as I see it is less on the hardware and more on the software. What formats will these new reader support? How easy will it be to purchase books in that format or how about converting from something to that format? Don't just go with the specs and say yes I want that. Also look very closely at the software issues. I was able to go for a Sony Reader because I came here and found the tools available to help me get content other then purchasing from the Connect store.

I don't care how beautiful the hardware is, if the software is crap, then you'll have some nice hardware with almost nothing to do with it. remember, it's all about the software since the hardware is probably good enough.
