I have the Kindle and love it!!!!
Check with libraries in your area. Many are now offering downloads for e-books. In order to participate you will need an e-book compatible with the library system.
NOOK here - love it. Only drawback is the need for a light for reading at night. However, from what I understand, the color NOOK doesn't have that problem (different ink technology?). One thing to consider before buying any e-Reader is how often you'll use it. Two years ago, when I received mine as a Christmas present, the most popular books/authors were $9.99. I expected some increase in price over time but the prices have really risen. For example, Ken Follet's follow on to the Pillars of the Earth is almost $20!! I can get the hardcover at BJ's for under $15 and I'm sure the paperback will be a fraction of that.
If I had room to store more books, and didn't travel as much on business (I bring a minimum of two books), I might consider an eReader unnecessary.
we got the Pandigital Novel for my step daughter and one for our granddaughter for Christmas and they LOVE it. They both take theirs with them everywhere they go
I have a Nook ... I love it!
But it really does irk me that the books are so expensive!
I downloaded a free kindle for my PC at Amazon. They have quite a few books that you can download free also.
I also have an Ipad and get e books on it from several sources.
Kindel here, I love it.
