To be honest, I would hesitate to buy any propriatary book reader. I have many
books in formats which neither Kindle nor Nook are set up to read, yet my ancient
Palm PDA handles just fine - if I changed to either of these devices I would
actually be taking a step back in some ways.
Rather than looking at dedicated ebook readers, I am looking forward instead to the
growth of all-in-one devices. In a few years, I expect to be able to buy a device
which can read books in a multitude of formats, surf the web, take pictures, play
music and videos, and act as a phone as well if desired. That said, if I were in
the market for a new ebook reader today, I would probably look at a netbook (if my
first priority was having a decent screen size) or an iPod Touch (if I was more
concerned with portability).
