I'm in the same situation... also looking for something but still
hesitating to actually buy it. After reading lots of reviews, I came
to like the Sony PRS-600 most... but a lot of it is just a subjective
feeling... It's not the cheapest though.

The most important feature for me seems to be the PDF support (I will
be using them mostly to view PDF's I already have, rather than buying
books with the device). I live in Belgium, so something which supports
the books sold by the local online book store (http://www.e-boek.org/)
could come in handy as well. On the other hand, they don't sell
technical books in English, and if I don't think the sony can buy from
amazon directly...

As usual, its a pity that there isn't one standard format/api to buy
online books, such that you can use the devices with any online
shop... Guess its marketing and DRM related.

I found http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_Reader_Matrix
interesting as well.
