I shopped around and ended up buying a Nook. It had the features I wanted and then some. It has a touch screen at the bottom with menus rather than buttons for everything. You can swipe your finger across the bottom or use the side buttons to turn pages. The touch screen uses the Android OS, so it feels much like a smartphone that way. However, it has the e-ink screen for reading. I like the e-ink better than my laptop for reading. it's much easier on the eyes, and that goes for all ereaders using the technology.
But with my Nook, I can borrow books from e-libraries. BN offers freebie Fridays with a free ebook every week, and they've had coupons where if you take the Nook into the cafe in the BN store (not a Starbucks like some stores have but a BN run cafe), you can get a free treat. Last month, it was Godiva chocolates...yum!
Each ereader has advantages and disadvantages. No one can say which one is better. Only you can decide what's right for you. For some that's Sony, for others Kindle, for me a Nook.
Shop and compare.
