Secondly, what websites are best for buying ebooks?

Any help is great.

Thanks.
The Kindle is out because because demand currently outstrips supply. Otherwise, you could find one on Ebay.

The Sony Reader is still a possibility because you can find the (slightly outdated) PRS 500 pretty cheap on Ebay. The PRS 500 is still quite usable. This is a good choice in terms of hardware price.

Another possibility is the Bookeen Cybook. If you want one, you might get a better price from NAEB. This might be the best choice in terms of ebook selection and ease of use.

There is also the Irex Iliad, but at $700 it's frigging expensive.
