Hi Florence and welcome to MobileRead.
I'm a book collector and I can certainly tell you this about holding the Sony Reader in your hands: It's a comfortable reader and feels utililitarian, with buttons placed in just the right position for easy access. Imagine holding, say, one of William Gaddis's fat - but critically acclaimed - novels in your hands. (I'm thinking here of The Recognitions or JR; or even Tolstoy's War and Peace, for that matter.)
It's amazing how revolutionary these devices are and how much enjoyment they impart to reading.
I share your excitement and expectation as you await your new Sony Reader. Please let us know what you think of it.
You'll find a number of helpful people here on MobileRead and a huge number of free public domain novels.
Don
