The Cover story is only interesting with its Wifi option and as such extremely difficult to get (I understand OP lives in the US, but I might be mistaken) unless you live in the UK.

Plus I understand OP is on a budget.
Thank you for this! I have not seen them in the wilderness and was not aware of their shortcomings.

As long as I can download the book and get a copy, I can read the ePub ones (DRM free) on my Kindle as well! :-) .. 60 seconds conversion via Calibre. of course, no Public Libraries but any other copyright free book.
Well, you quote me talking about a library and then you say conversion is not a problem, but you would not converse a library book...

Hm, am I supposed to understand this?
