I recently got a Kindle and I love it. It doesn't do epub, but there are programs like Calibre that will convert your epub books to a format that the Kindle can read. I really suggest you go to a Best Buy and have a look. They have several different kinds of e-readers on display including the Nook and the Kindle. If you like the Nook Color, the regular Nook make be your best bet.[/QUOTE

I'm really interested in the kindle as well.

The main reason, I'm avoiding it is that I support bookstores. They are dwindling because the profit margin is slim, and I like Amazon. Honestly do like Amazon. But, the day that I can't find a bookstore to browse, is the day I'm going to blame myself.

This is something I have to take serious, as I don't think there are a great deal of others even considering the possibility of losing bookstores altogether.
