But if it's about the sole reader, you might be better off to buy one of the ePUB/sideloading optimized ones. You still can buy from Amazon, strip from DRM, convert to ePUB and use on those readers. Kobo for example could be a nice choice then.

It also has a cleaner interface, more stable firmware, and good dictionary support.
I always viewed it as more a
simple, clean, stable UI = Kindle
vs.
customizing fonts/margins/stuff and carry-tens-of-GBs-of-books-around (
) = Kobo
If you don't use the extra options Kobo gives you, then it isn't an advantage. And I like the homepage=library view style of the Kindle.
