eReaders suggestions/recommendations

[DisneyMum4]

I am wanting a eReader for Christmas. I have read reviews on the Kindle, Sony eReader, and the announcement on the upcoming Nook from Barnes and Noble. Will you please share with me which one you prefer and why? Also, if you have the Sony one do you prefer the one with or without the touch screen?

I have a blackberry and do not think that I would like an iPod to read on or the bb due to the screen size.

Thanks and I look forward to hearing your recommendations.

I was playing with the Sony ones at Target today. I don't have an ereader, but I'd like one. Anyway, I liked the touchscreen feature better, but I like the size of the smaller one better (no touch screen though). One thing that seemed a little weird was that as you turn the page the screen briefly went black before loading the page. I'm not sure if this is how all the brands are, but it wasn't a smooth page turn, like I thought it would be.

Anyone know if a Kindle has a touch screen? I wish Amazon had a B & M store so I could see it, hold it and check it out before buying.
