I own kindle what i like from kindle is the "text to speech" feature. With this feature you can set the kindle to read the book for you, so you can relax and just listening to your kindle. See the details of the feature here http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fhelp%2Fcustomer%2Fdisplay.html%3Fie%3DUTF8%26nodeId%3D200375940&tag=hot_deal-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957
I own the Kindle 2, and it is easy for me to say I love it! I think I’ve read over 20 books so far.
I love my Kindle because it has helped me improve a lot on my efficiency and utilize my time. Before I owned the Kindle, waiting time like when I’m waiting for friends or waiting for shuttle bus or some thing like that is simply wasted. Now I just need to bring the Kindle 2 along with me. Another thing I like the most is the text-to-speech function, which means I can "read" books without even holding or looking at the Kindle. Now I like to use this function when I’ve myself busy on some boring things, say when I’m on the step machine or doing some housework…
I like reading and at the beginning I missed a bit on the feeling of reading books. But now I love to hold the Kindle, the e-ink seems to work very well, it is really like reading books… Now I often read with the Kindle for several hours but I don’t feel tired.
Below is where you can purchase your own from amazon.com:
I’ve mentioned pretty much for Kindle over the Nook here:

And I’ll say the Kindle 2 instead of Sony Reader. Read here to know more:

It is better than Sony Reader because Amazon provide good content support, and the number of books available in Kindle format is kept on increasing (right now there are 300,000 Kindle books). Sony Reader, however, many users complain that it is difficult to find suitable books.
And the main problem is that books on Sony Reader are much more expensive than that on the Kindle (tips: if you’re outside the U.S. all the Kindle books you see will have a price of US$2 added. But if you choose to download to computer when you check out, the $2 will be waived. So you can get the books US$2 cheaper even if you’re outside the United States, and you can copy the books to your Kindle through USB cable). And many Kindle books, magazines and newspapers are cheaper than the actual paper version. Other benefits of the Kindle over Sony Reader include the free wireless internet access (now available internationally in many countries), and the text-to-speech function.
The refurbished version is cheaper, but it only has free wireless within U.S., while the new Kindle has free international wireless. And you know, Amazon gave a price drop for the Kindle 2 just before Xmas. It is now at a really good price.
Hope this helps.
I own the Kindle 2. If you ask me to choose again now, I’ll still go for the Kindle instead of the Nook and Sony Reader, because I think the web browsing function is rather important (the Nook and Sony Reader does not have a web browser). The free internet (and now it is free international internet) plus the web browser allow me to look for information whenever I’m in need. It is really a cool feature that cannot be missed. And right now it is free for both the U.S. and many other countries, it is just incredible when you bring it to trip.
I like to use the text-to-speech function which is only available on the Kindle too, meaning that I can "read" with my hands and eyes free…
And I remember I read these reviews when I decided to get my Kindle:

And in case you don’t know, Amazon has put a price slash on the Kindle 2 just before Christmas, and it added in international wireless access and native PDF support… So take the chance if you want it.
Hope it helps
I’ll suggest you to get the Kindle instead of the Nook and Sony Reader, it is much more mature. There are much more selection of books too.
Read the article here, it mentioned the Kindle, Barnes and Nobles, Sony Reader, and other ebook readers by the end of the review:
