[...] a personal note, while I do look longingly at the Nook, I’m still waiting to buy a device. I believe I should be able to load an ebook I purchase [...]

Yep they’ve confirmed PDF & ePub but still no work on DRM so we don’t know yet if they will work with library services like Overdrive or Netlibrary

it does support .pdf, and most importantly, .epub, which means all the books I’ve downloaded and converted to those formats using calibre are usable.

I am right there with you! I was interested in a Kindle, but never got to the point where I was trying to figure out how to get one. Now I am, but it’s for the Nook. (And for me, it’s mostly about point 2.)

This is really an exciting development. Makes me glad I’ve held out on buying an eReader. I was reading this week about the pilot project with Kindles and several universities. Not being able to read PDFs apparently has been a BIG drawback for the students.

I’ve used my Blackberry, and before that Palm Pilots, for that for a good 5 or 6 years now. Can purchase e-books, and can sync my borrowed library e-books to those. But… I don’t mind the small screen (the newer ebook readers do have larger screens). I love having an e-library that can fit into my pocket.

I’m glad to see the progress in ebook readers, but I keep saying I won’t buy one until I know I can use the same device to purchase and read ebooks (that I can also back up to my computer) and to check out ebooks from the library. If someone can work that out for me, that would be awesome.
