Sony Reader and the Kindle are the two most popular e-readers. But I'll suggest the Kindle 2, unless you are outside the United States (because Amazon doesn't allow order of the Kindle outside the U.S.). The biggest issue is the content availability. The Kindle is supported by Amazon with much more book selections. Kindle books are also cheaper than the actual books, so it will save you money in long term. Amazon also provide thousands of Kindle books for free or at a low price. Sony reader is much weaker in this area.

There is a good comparison here about the latest versions of the two digital book readers:

And here is a review on the Kindle 2 from a owner of many ebook readers, see if it helps:
