ProfCrash, I think there has been some confusion. At #12 you said:

And since Amazon and the Kindle are the most popular ebook store and reader in the US you will be just fine using them. People like to make it seem as if EPub is the dominant format. It is not. More stores use EPub but there are not more books found in EPub. Meaning that you are likely to find what you want to read at Amazon as well as at BN, Sony, and Kobo books.

Madwitch, epub is the format used by pretty much everyone *except* amazon and the kindle. If you can live without the amazon store, then any other reader should be able to read epub. There are any number of devices that will fit your requirements.

When I used "everyone" in the above post I was referring to "all devices", not "all ebook stores". Since the OP originally implied that she would not be buying books (or rarely), then my intent was to advise that any ereader device apart from the Kindle reads epub. Since Amazon does not sell epub (I think it's the only place that doesn't?) then with an epub reader she can get books from anywhere, including libraries, but except for Amazon. Hence the comment about being able to live without the Amazon store.
