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.
