I would like to get an ereader, but I don't know enough about them. My husband is set on the Kindle. I'm not sure. He was talking about the eink and I have NO idea what that means or how it compares to others. I like the color that the Nook offers, but the only time I might use that is for children's books and I can't see getting a lot of children's eBooks.

My main computer is a MacBook and I have an iPhone. Not sure if that matters when downloading books and transferring them.

Is there anything I can read both in the sunlight and in the dark?
How about durability? I have five kids, if one of the kids gets a hold of it and drops it, are any better than the other? Same goes for little fingers that like to push buttons... If my one year old got a hold of it, could she delete all the books easily?

I was thinking more indie authors might use Kindle/Amazon more and there are a lot of indie books I'd like to read. Although I'm confused on the whole DRM thing. I thought it was a good thing protecting your book, but when I read posts, it sounds like many people won't buy a DRM eBook.

If I go out looking at these ereaders, what should I look for?

Thanks!
