I don't mean to be insulting but here is a short primer on electronic book readers. Eupub is a format of electronic books not a method of publishing books on electronic reader, its analogus to to the english languege (which is a method of exchaning ideas with others) and epub is a langeuege as well. All electronic readers that you find on the market, wether they be based on a smart phone or a dedicated reader can provide simple access to books and exclude the games as you said above. What you will need to do is to think about what your requirements are for the electronic reader, below are some statements, please read the statements and decide which best describes you. Associated with each statement is a referrence to an electronic book reader that does best for that type of person. Find the statement that best describes you and simply buy the reader that is associated with that type of person:

1) I can see myself having a very large electronic library - Kindle
2) I need easy to understand and absolutely the simplest reader - Kobo
3) I want simplicity but I also want to operate the reader with the touch of my finger - Kobo Touch
4) I want to spend rock bottom prices - Kobo
5) I want to personalize my electronic reader - Kindle
6) I want to pay $0 for my reader and I have a smart phone already - Download free readers from Amazon, Borders, Overdrive, Kobo Books and Barns and Nobles
7) I read foreign languege books - Bookeen
8) I want to be able to buy books from absolutely anywhere without restrictions - Pocket book lite.
9) I want the latest and most advanced reader available - Nook Simple Touch.
