I used to have an ereader, the Aluratek Libre ereader (circa 2008). I picked it because it wasnt DRM restricted and didn't need additional software. My only issues with it is it would freeze when trying to read outside in winter and the battery life was a couple days. I ended up losing it. I really want a new one, but I'm really not sure what brand to go with at this point. Currently reading ebooks on my Android using Mantano Reader (black background/white text is great for reading on my cell)
The best thing about ereaders are free books.

I thoroughly recommend the paperwhite. Aside from the physical feature which you're probably aware of, let me tell you of two other features. I bought the one "With special offers," (On sale it was <$75) which are drawn once you hit the lock button. I put it in airplane mode since I don't feel a need to use WiFi unless I was going to browse the kindle store (ha), and after about a month, it sort of ran out of ads. The only thing it's drawn for about a week now is "Find your next favorite book," with a nice picture of a lady and a button which would take me to the store I suppose if I turned on Wifi. So no more ads, pretty great.
Second thing is you can move all of you epubs, pdfs, etc which weren't bought from Amazon onto the kindle over USB. You're right, the best thing about ereaders are free books.

Thanks! I really appreciate the recommendation. It was one I had looked at , but was still unsure about until i heard from someone who's used it. Love the tip about ads!
