You're welcome. If you get the Kindle, consider also getting the $35 leather cover too. I know it's a bit pricey, but it's well built. Real leather on top of hard covers, soft interior, folds all the way back, and has a clever elastic cord that keeps the cover shut when not in use, and can keep front cover folded back when being used. I found the Kindle was almost too thin and light to hold by itself. For me, it feels more comfortable in the cover. FYI, the Kindle also fits nicely in any of the sleeves they sell at Chapters for the Kobo.
Good luck!

At the moment I think I'm actually leaning toward the Kindle 3. It's one of the cheaper options, it has the pearl screen, and after doing a bunch of research yesterday I think it should be easy for me to convert epub files (from the library or from other ebook stores).
It's not perfect; I still really wish it used epub (because not all conversions seem to be formatted perfectly, and because of epub's support for embedded fonts - I love all the different fonts in my printed books)... but I think it may be the best option, since each of the other readers seem to have their own drawbacks for me.
