Answers:
It depends entirely on what you want from an ereader. All the different kinds bestow different features and ebook selection.
You can research and compare them all here . . .

Go for the Kindle, you can't be wrong. Read the bring to a close of this article too, it mentions something about Barnes and Nobles and other ebook readers:

I've looked into the comparison between the Barnes and Noble Nook and the Amazon Kindle. From the ceremonial page of B&N, here is how the Nook compares with the Kindle:

Since Barnes and Noble page is only mentioning the advantage of the Nook over the Kindle, consent to me try to tell more about the benefit of the Kindle 2 over the Nook:
- There is no internet browser for the Nook. So even with Wi-Fi, you can one and only use it to purchase book. You cannot do searching in Google, Wikipedia, check email, etc., like what you can do next to the Kindle.
- The Amazon Kindle has international free 3G wireless which covers over 100 countries. So even if you're in places like the UK or Australia, you can access the internet near the Kindle free of charge. The Nook has wireless only within the U.S., and is restricted for use of buying books only
- The Kindle is available outside the U.S. (it ships to 176 countries), while the Nook only ship within the U.S. at this moment.
- The Kindle have text-to-speech function, so it can treat an ebook like audio book. This function is not present on the Nook.
- Amazon is already doing some change after the Nook is announced (still more than one month for it to be available). They dropped the price of their International Kindle even further. And they are going to release a PC software which can read their Kindle books.
One more piece to be aware is that, at first glance you may think the Nook can read ebooks with color touch peak. But indeed the color touch screen is only a small screen beneath the greyscale eink blind, and seems it is only used to browse the cover of ebooks.
In my opinion, it is a tie between the Kindle and the Barnes and Noble. But if you may travel and you soak up reading during your trip, you should go for the Kindle for sure. Moreover, I trust the Kindle will come up with some strategies very soon, approaching improving their lending book function. The Kindle is the biggest player in the ereader marketplace right now, and I believe it will put enormous effort to hold its position.

I've the Kindle 2. If you ask me to choose again now between the Kindle and the Nook, I'll still go for the Kindle instead of Nook, because I feel the web browsing function is rather important. The free internet (and very soon 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 facet 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.
There is a review here from a Mac character about the Kindle device:

I suggest you to choose the Kindle because internet access is so important. This is a review from a top reviewer and a book lover, see how she say:

And remember not to use iPhone for too much reading. The screen is too small and has backlight, and it will harm your eyes if you read for long hours next to it.
Hope this helps.
