I can actually read books on my LG from Verizon. But, tiny tiny screen. And really annoying when you are trying to read say, Gibbon's Fall of Rome or something involved like that.


I've been researching this question for months and it seems to get more confusing sometimes I know I'd like to be able to read PDFs, but it's not a deal breaker. I'd also like to be able to use the plucker format on Gutenberg, but again, not a deal breaker. My big thing is, does it handle HTML well, and is it mandatory that I use the books offered by the manufacturer poor college student, can't invest $9.99 each time I want a Kindle book. Or, if I can use a book from anyplace, is it going to be simple to convert it to the format I need in order to install it on my reader. I'm not really that determined to have wifi, it simply would be easier to download books that way, and not have to move files from one electronic to the next. (I'm apparently that lazy )


And of course, storage is a concern. I enjoy reading, otherwise I wouldn't have a personal book collection (I'm on librarything as Jaie if you ever get curious) and I don't want something that'll hold 4 books and then I need to delete in order to store more.

So, now to continue narrowing down I suppose.
