So, I'll be getting an eBook reader soon. It's a toss up between the PRS600/K3/Nook for various reasons. One thing that can swing my decision one way or the other is the access to online libraries. I have an account with Ebrary, you cannot download books from there but can view them. Any of these readers capable of doing that? Nook is based on Android, is there any Ebrary reader app or something that will allow me to view these files, not necessarily download them..?!

Apart from that, I would prefer a touch screen so that I can take notes and stuff but then the Sony doesn't have Wifi. Can the Nook support Note-taking with a firmware update? And the landscape mode?

Some help please.
