I am a committed Kindle 3 owner/user for content that I own, and piles of free content. If I were to get a device to share with my husband for library borrowing, which E-Ink reader is the best and easiest to use, with the best price? Kobo's a non-starter because it doesn't permit any kind of markup.

I'm also interested in the ability to annotate and underline passages in a library book and retain my notes when the book reverts to the library. Will *any* E-Ink reader permit that for books that will vanish from the device?

I'm an academic librarian, so am interested in this question because I'm thinking about the future needs of our students, as well as my own wishes for using the technology.
