You might want to update this list to include the KOBO. It’s a good basic introductory ereader.

Kristi Unfortunately I don’t have an ipad so I haven’t been able to check it out. Regardless of how well it works I know I personally prefer to read on the e-ink type screens, they are just easier on my eyes.

@librarianbyday you mention nook lending – kindle now has a lending option as well! http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/d…

Have you tried an iPad since OverDrive released their app that let’s patrons read EPUB ebooks? It works well from my iPod Touch, although not my reader of choice. I do like having a dedicated ereader also, and use my Nook constantly for myself and library training.

Jean – I just got my hands on one last week. Its a nice little device if you’re looking for a multi-function device – email, light web surfing, stuff like that. Its a little heavy but you’ll get used to it.

I would not recommend a back lite color device for anyone who wants a device solely for reading or who reads for extended periods of time. Go with a dedicated e-ink device.

How about the pandigital for ebooks from the library? The main purpose for me is for reading.

Interesting as I would say I can’t afford an iPad.

I think the nice thing is there is no one size fits all and we can all choose what works for us best.

@librarianbyday that’s a bummer . . . but, I suppose that since none of the other devices allow sharing at all, it’s not a deal-breaker
