I reviewed several of the e-readers, namely the Kindle, Sony Reader, B&N Nook Color & Apple iPad.  Given all of the similarity in features and functionality, If I were in the market for an e-reader, I would probably wait until I could afford an iPad.  The reason for this is mainly because it’s a multi-faceted device which makes more sense to me, since the fewer gadgets the better.  It also offers the largest screen size which is a lot easier on my eyes, and it has the greatest versatility in reading apps from the widest variety of stores such as, Apple (iBooks), Barnes & Noble (Nook), Amazon (Kindle), Kobo, as well as others.
