Thank you guys for all your help!!
I was at Best Buy yesterday looking at all the different options and have decided laptop is out, the ones I was looking at are way too bulky. Since I'm mainly going to use it for the ereading, and just use my desktop for anything else, I'm thinking of going with one of the ereaders. I know there are other brands out there outside of the Kobo or Kindle but are they just as good?
Ok say I decide to go with either a Kobo or the Kindle, how would I be able to transfer the files from one format to the other? I would really hate to loose the books I got from one so I can use the other.
