She likes to read...primarily fiction..
She uses the library and trades books with friends. We don't buy many "new" books.
I understand that the ePub format isn't supported by the Kindle, but that we can use Calibre to get around that, which means we can make use of any of the ebook stores and convert to a non proprietay format, usually with no issues. I have also read there are ways around DRM.
Is the Nook, Kindle, Sony or Kobo weaker overall in any glaring way?

This will be our first reader, and we would like to get one that will meet our needs for awhile.

I would like wireless, but 3G isn't important.

Budget up to $200 Canadian.

Thanks, Kenie
