Hey All,

I've been doing some searching around, comparing e-readers and tablets and was wondering if any one was interested in starting a thread here regarding that kind of thing. 

I purchased the Sony Touch eReader about 6 months ago and have been very pleased with it's performance. It is a non-lit LCD display which is easy on the eyes and the optional case with reading lamp brings the whole package in around 225 dollars. It has 512 meg of storage and (this was the reason I did not go with the less expensive unit) can accept SSD and SonyDuo memory cards for additional storage. The big selling point was the fact that the reader can handle a wide selection of formats including PDFs and Word documents instead of the usual reliance on proprietary file formats.
At present I am running my unit with a 2 gig SSD and it contains about 1230 books/documents including PDFs of most of my professional references. The only downside I have experienced is a wait of 5-10 minutes when I take the unit off the interface cable or bring it up from a full shutdown while it organizes and updates it's filing system. I manage to get about a week of use out of the unit before I need to recharge (the paperwork claims a 2 week cycle but I chalk that up to me being an avid reader).

I've been doing my reading lately on my Nexus S, which is a close cousin of the Galaxy S. Just read "Iron Dawn" on it, purchased from this very website. For the Android platform I really like Cool Reader for viewing ePubs, as it is very single focus, letting you do your file management with whatever other app(s) you choose (I put all my books in my Dropbox account so that I can access them from anywhere). Aldiko is another decent ePub reader, although it wants to take over management of your book files.

Looking forward to the 10" Galaxy Tab coming later this year. That looks like it'll be a good device for reading.
