The beauty of Amazon is they remember your library. You can read any of your books on your phone, your kindle, your computer, your tablet, etc.
When one of our kindles broke during a trip - they sent a replacement, we turned on the new Kindle, told it our account and password and it made all the books available.
If you want to buy ebooks from other sites like Fictionwise or others - they usually remember your bookshelf but you do download the files. This means you are responsible for copying the files, making backups, etc.
If you are not comfortable with regular backups, burning copies to recordable CD/DVD disks, etc - just go with a Kindle and let Amazon take care of it.
Some advice:
Get a second credit card to use just for internet transactions. Ideally you put the card in the name of your family trust so the debt/credit/ownership can be given to your heirs.
Create a new Amazon account tied to this credit card and use this account for the Kindle purchases.
Do you have a computer or a tablet or an Android phone? Download the Kindle app and try reading. You dont even need to have a physical kindle.
If you decide you like the experience - consider one of the now $69 Kindles. Basic e-ink but is lightweight and you can read in bed. Add a cover for $30.
If you have NOT dove into the tablet devices but are curious - consider the Nexus 7 or perhaps the newer Kindle HD.
