I've got the original Kobo eReader. It's still going strong to this day, though admittedly the battery life is starting to grow a bit thin. I've taken to bringing a portable battery pack with me if I know I'm going to be away from an outlet for an extended period of time.
That said, I haven't really noticed much difference between the newer variants of both the Kindle and Kobo. Sure, some have a back light, others have 3g or wifi... but personally I don't really go for any of that stuff. 4gb of storage on the original unit is plenty enough and, just like reading a real book, I don't care if I need to have a table side light on in order to read at night. Others do prefer the backlight units but it drains the battery pretty quickly.
If you're planning on legally buying books, take a look at what's available in each book store. Amazon has some titles not available to Kobo and vice versa. Otherwise most ereaders are sideload capable.
Oh, and stick with a pure ereader and don't go with a tablet. The screen gets super tiresome if you're reading for more than 30 minutes.
