I got the Cool-er, because of the very light weight (180g), 6" screen and the clean physical layout (looks like an ipod). The same guts are marketed as the Bookeen with better software and fussier hardware, but broadly good reviews. The Cool-er's interface is a bit 1.0 and I figure bad software will eventually turn good in the updates, so I've opted for the hardware. The other candidate I considered was the Sony pocket, but it's a 5" screen and a lot heavier, so while it's lovely, it's not what I wanted.
