Kindle or Cybook.
As for features...I don't need a dictionary or wifi or the ability to annotate. I just want to read. Must be nice to know the definition of every word in the English language. I thought I was pretty literate until I started reading Aldous Huxley. Was using the dictionary every third page. I'm sure there are other books out there I will need the dictionary for also. And they make it so easy to use.....As for WiFi....makes downloading books directly to the Kindle so easy...whether from Amazon or other sites....and for free...
I really wish readers were under $200...that is a price point at which I would just take a jump without overthinking it. Wait for it......it'll happen! Really!!
As for the Kindle, I probably would go for it despite the "proprietary mobi format" if it a) wasn't $359 and b) was less ugly. I have seen one in person...granted for only a couple minutes...but a friend bought one and brought it into work and I couldn't believe how cheap and ugly it seemed. Maybe it grows on you?
