Since you said you wanted to use Public Libraries, the Kindle is right out. You need something that supports Adobe Digital Editions.

I bought the Kobo because my girlfriend recommended it. She had been using hers for awhile, with no issues and was very pleased with it. Not to mention it was on sale at Indigo Books for $128. So I figured I'd give it a try. First impression was, I liked that it was just a simple reader and that's it. After charging it, I loaded about 50 epubs on a sd card and started it up. It froze on the loading screen. After about 15 minutes I did the paperclip reset and waited another 15 minutes. Frozen again. So I put the sd card in my girlfriends Kobo and started up fine in a short period of time. Tried one more time in mine and nothing. So I exchanged it the next day.
After charging the second Kobo I put in the same sd card and started it up. Turned on fine but this time it would freeze on the cover of every book on the sd card. I know they work because they worked fine on my girlfriends. After a few resets, same results. Exchanged it a couple of days after.
The third Kobo wouldn't hold a charge. The red light indicating it was plugged in would even come on. Returned that one the same day.
The last one would turn on after charging. Took it back right away.
As for the kindle, it doesn't interest me as it doesn't support ePub,
