For those interested, it sounds like there will be an announcement on the UK availability of the Kindle next week: linky.
Personally I'd be tempted by the Sony PRS-600 Touch Edition - most reviews seem to rate it highly, and it apparently supports a wide range of file formats:

Where the Sony Reader Touch Edition is a winner however is the open support for most of the ebook formats. In an attempt to become king of the hill, Sony has done something that it's not normally known for and embraced other formats rather than just create yet another closed system.
That means you get support for Adobe PDF documents, Microsoft Word documents, BBeB format, and other text file formats to the Reader. It also supports EPUB/ADEPT and connection with Adobe Digital Editions so you can buy ebooks off the web. You can also play back unsecured MP3s and AAC audio files, as you could with former devices.
The result is that you'll be able to read virtually all file formats currently available.
