I've never owned a Kindle product... so I vote for my Nook Simple Touch, which is a tad faster and freezes less than my Kobo Touch eReader. 
I especially like how easy it is to add .epub books to the Nook, and that the battery lasts me several weeks (or maybe a single week if I am doing really heavy reading).
I have a Nook that I really like but also have the Kindle app on my iPhone and iPad. The Nook stays upstairs in the bedroom for nighttime reading and that is all I use it for (it can do other things but want to keep it dedicated for reading). The iPad travels as I use it for calendaring and other uses but will use it to read also. I never have a problem with either as far as reading goes.

It uses very little power, and only when you "turn" the page. Unlike LCD screens, e-ink remains visible even when the device is turned off. The trade-off is that it's grayscale only (although I have heard color e-ink screens promised for years).
Typically, e-ink reader batteries only need to be charged every 2 to 4 weeks or so, with normal usage. Turning the wi-fi receiver off stretches battery life even more, of course.
And they are much easier on the eyes than reading LCD screens.
