Welcome, Wendy.
There are a lot of ebook readers out there. But if you let us know what you would like to do with it we can help you narrow it down a bit.
Some want something small and convenient to carry around. Some want something large for technical reading (and lets face it, comic books).
I love using a finger to "turn" the pages, others hate a touch screen.
The Kindle is an option for you. But try to get one of the newer ones. I would choose one with the black plastic bezel as the bright white ones make the screen look too gray. Or save money by buying a used Kindle from someone who just has to have the latest and greatest.
Just let us know what's most important to you.
