Been using my Blackberry for years to read for up to 10 minutes. Handy approach but annoying for long reading sessions.
Researched and bought a Nook. Used it one week and took it back. They're not ready for Prime Time in my opinion. Slow response. First electronic device I've ever returned.
My business partner has been using the Sony reader. He thinks it's okay, but nothing to write home about.
Despite being skeptical of Apple hype - especially from those who have a fetish for everything Mac (like my business partner) - dove in and bought an iPad.
Gotta tell you, it's quite amazing and useful. Reading on it is a real pleasure.
I find it to easy on the eyes, however that may just be me. I'm used to staring at computer screens 12 hours a day.
I don't read a lot of books. My job requires me to read a massive amount of business papers. I receive almost all of them as PDFs. Neither the low priced Kindle (per reviews) or the Nook handle PDFs well.
The iPad handles PDFs brilliantly. The only other reader reputed to handle PDFs well is the Kindle DX...which runs $500. Might as well buy the iPad at that price.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
