Really? You can check out ebooks from them if you do the $15/yr for a card (I see on the website?).

That's seems awesome. I don't have an overdrive library anywhere near me in Michigan.

Any place else like that?

I went with the Nook myself. I prefer epub as it is the almost-universal standard now, I like the memory card slot (useful for mp3s, pdfs, and other big files in the future) and the replaceable battery. And with Android there is always potential for other cool stuff on it. I hate DRM so I buy very little from the B&N store, but they've had some awesome B&N published classics for free this summer.

My wife went with the Kindle 2. She loves Amazon and is willing to buy with DRM (I warned her...you think she would have learned after a couple of itunes debacles over the years).
