I decided today to go with the Nook over the Sony PRS-300 and Kindle 2.
The Kindle 2 was very appealing because of its thinness and quick operation. But I just couldn't get over the fact that it did not allow you to access ebooks from the public library.
The Sony was very basic and simple, which I liked, and allowed access to ebooks from the library. Though I never got the chance to try it out I read in many places that it was very slow - a major negative factor.
The Nook allows access to public library ebooks. While it's not as thin or quick as the Kindle 2, it's adequate in both respects. It isn't as small as the Sony but it's significantly smaller than the Kindle 2 because it lacks the latter's keyboard, which is something I have little use for anyway. While I initially disliked the Nook's touchscreen control panel, after trying it out in the store on several occasions I got used to it and no longer consider it a problem.
All in all, the Nook had the features I wanted and did not have any serious flaws, unlike the Kindle 2 and Sony PRS-300. While it's not perfect, it's the best of the three for me.
