Your input will help decide where my money goes.

Hey everyone my name is Barak and I've been lurking around on this forum for a while but finally decided to join because I haven't found the answer I'm looking for anywhere, and this seems like the best site to get one.

I'm currently looking at buying an e-reader (shocking right) because I have returned to school and want all the free Epubs, the problem as you may be aware with epubs is they are not read on the Kindle, I think the kindle is awesome and before a fanboy jumps in, the Epubs from my schools library will be DNR encoded, its not a public library, not on overdrive and therefore I would have to decode and convert every book, journal, and article I want from the school, so no. (unless someone can explain to me why this isnt a problem)

Right now I'm looking at a Kobo and a Nook, text books aren't soooo important as I said, mainly the Epubs I am planning on getting for free. I dont listen to music really, I dont need an internet browser and I wont be buying books (maybe like 1 or something, I read enough school stuff as it is)

Basically what I'm asking is which would be the best for logging on from my ereader and downloading (can i log onto my schools sites from e-readers using personal logins?) and then which one do you think I will have the most enjoyment with, I am guessing I will be using it 3ish hours a day.

Thanks alot for your patience and any answers

Barak
