I think at the end of the day you cannot go too far wrong with either The new Kindle K3 or the Sony 350/650 readers. Both have the new/better pearl screens so it's really just a personal choice.

Umm...I check the library for every single book I want to read. If it is on there, then I read it for free. If it is not, then I shop around for the best price. Why wouldn't I?
It actually makes me use the library even more. I can get the book instantly online instead of having to get to the library during business hours and then remember to return it on time. That takes away all the inconveniences of the library.
The free books on here or in the public domain aren't usually on my reading list.
The use of library books when I normally would have purchased them has paid for my ereader. (or would have paid for it...I got mine as a gift)
