Hello-

I'm a graduate student, on the market for an ereader. About $150 is my upper limit for the reader.. As for features to prioritize:
*I don't care about 3g
*Wireless is nice, but not necessary
*I want to be able to read textbooks and pdfs of journal articles
*I'd like to be able to get books cheaply

So far, I started off looking at the Sony 300 versus the Kindle, and was liking that the Sony was a little more open market, but now I'm seeing that the Sony 300 is a little buggy? A little clunky? I've heard great things about the kindle, and I'm an avid Amazon user.. but I'm a little nervous about running into proprietary issues.. Maybe the Nook? or Kobo?

Any thoughts? Thanks!
