Help please, I need your advice!

I need your help, not a techie, but a reader. I love books and travel, in my perfect world I would find an ebook reader that would contain all the guidebooks I like, plus my fiction collection for the plane, and play movies besides!
However, in the real world, that is not to be, so I need your help.
I have found from browsing what is available at the various ebook stores, that the best travel guidebooks (rough guides, frommers, etc) seem to be in either adobe secure 7 or microsoft reader. While most fiction books are in mobi and are protected from being directly downloaded on the kindle. So which device do I buy? It is a lot of money, and I can't afford to make a mistake, but am ready to make the plunge. Thanks in advance for all of your help and advice.
PS I know that if I was a tech savvy there are ways around the download problems with hacks etc, but I am not tech savy (imagine your middle aged aunt who has trouble programming the microwave, that is me!)
