Unfortunately I jumped the gun and bought a Kindle when they first came out but if I could choose again I would choose a Sony eReader . The eReader uses an E Ink display so the screen consumes no power except when the display is updated. It accepts plain text, RTF, PDF, Sony's own locked e-books, and Word documents (which are translated into RTF and which require Word to be present on the machine). The Reader also accepts pictures in JPG, GIF, PNG, and BMP formats, and it can also play back MP3 tracks . And it’s the only reader that comes with a hot-pink case :)
3 Steps to downloading a book to the eReader are:
1. Download and install Adobe Digital Editions and Overdrive to computer.
2. Find, check out, and download an ebook from Overdrive.
3. Using Adobe Digital Editions, transfer ebook to ereader.
