I recently got the BeBook Neo and I really like it. It's not quite as user friendly as the Sony readers, but there are lots of customization options and it is able to read a wide variety of formats. The web browsing option isn't quite as great as I had hoped and the battery drain is higher than most e-ink devices (especially with WiFi on), but neither problem is so terrible as to be a deal breaker and there is a new firmware on the way which will hopefully take care of both issues.
