The main issues I can see here are:
1) People are split whether or not they can tolerate reading on LCD display or whether they require e-Ink type of technology.
2) People are split on whether or not they like touch-screen vs. dislike the reduction in display quality that touch-screens entail.
3) How big vs. how little you want your reading device to be.
4) What file formats and/or DRM and/or other transfer and download restrictions a particular e-book reader entails.
5) real keyboards vs. virtual keyboards.
6) how "general purpose computer " vs. "dedicated reader" a device is.
7) cost.
those are pretty much all personal preferences, and therefore not worth discussing. -bowerbird
