I can also highly recommend the Pocketbook 360, if you don't mind a 5 inch screen. I have had a Kindle 1, Kindle 2, Sony PRS-600, Sony PRS-900 and a Jetbook lite in additional to my PB360 and the 360 is my far and away favorite. It displays almost any format around, and if you can use FBReader with your ebook, you can control the appearance of the book down to very fiddly details. It is crappy at displaying PDFs formatted for larger screens, but so was every other reader I've had.
The one big advantage Kindle theoretically has is the ease with which you can buy books. If you are so disposed you can browse right from the Kindle, read a book sample and buy, without even being connected to your computer. I never enjoyed or used this feature because the "whispernet" in my major metropolitan area should have been called "molassesnet" making browsing painful. For you international folk, the extra $2 hit per book would be a big downer for me.
One additional advantage of the PB360 is that it doesn't need a separate case. The built-in hard cover is a great feature -- sturdy and attractive.
