I recently put my money down and bought a Kindle 3 with 3G. I'm beginning to think I could have saved the extra $50, but it's still early yet. Otherwise, it's a fantastic reader. The Pearl screen is gorgeous.
I also own an Ectaco jetBook, which is an excellent reader, with a tremendous set of formats supported, which is a great plus. It also has an SD card slot, which makes putting on content very easy. The compact 5" form has some real advantages in portability and handling.
I started reading on Windows CE PDAs. They worked fine for everything but direct sunlight. The larger 5" and 6" screens are a bit more pleasant than the PDAs 3.5" screens. I don't read much on my 2.8" smartphone. That's a little too small.
Start with what you can afford, and what matches your needs. Use the MobileRead Wiki for research. Read the boards for opinions.

Jack Tingle
