Most major ebook sellers allow you to download a sample.

I too am in the software engineering field and the last thing I want to do is spend more time than needed looking at a computer screen....which is why I prefer reading on an eInk device over a tablet/phone...no glare.

I also like how I can make the font size consistent to my comfort level (as other's have mentioned). Over 50 and can still deny the fact that I need reading glasses

But it seems to me that the consistent thread for you reasons is that you enjoy going to your local library...it's close and there is a wider selection of books for free. I have a friend in the same situation and even thought she has a Nook, she never really took to it. So an ebook reader may not be for your.
