Kobo ones are great because you can install Koreader or Plato on it without requiring any hacks or jailbreaking. I much prefer Koreader than the standard Kobo interface and it is completely devoid of any unnecessary online integration. I sync my little library of books using rsync over ssh.

+1 for kobo. The physical device is a joy, too, and I like the screen a lot.
