which are usually drm epub format. Amazon admits to doing that on
purpose to force people into buying their ebooks and it only has
internal memory, no expansion memory card support.

I narrowed my choices down to the wifi Nook, but they still cost more
than I'm willing to spend on one... There are more models still
coming out so maybe something better will turn up if I keep
waiting ;-)

I bought a kindle at the 139 dollar price point. I also doubt it will be my last reading
platform.

I'm not really thrilled about some of Amazons pricing schemes on books that are dated
either. However, I've read enough books so far that, I've broke even on paper vs
electronic.

Newspapers on kindle stink as far as I can tell. Maybe there is one that does it right
but I haven't found it amongst the papers I'm willing to spend money to obtain.
