I've spent hours browsing through the internet looking for info in regards to ebook readers. Unfortunately, I'm still having much difficulty deciding on which one to purchase. The only one I've seen in real-life is the sony one at Borders, and I thought the display was horrible?? It reminds me of an LCD display running out of battery? Are all e-ink display like that?

Which device is more durable? less issues? Most like reading regular book? It appears that the Kindle may be my best bet but I think it's a tad expensive....and umm...tad ugly? I was going to wait for Kindle 2 but it won't be available until sometime 2009....I like the Readius but not sure when it'll be available in the US. The iLiad is very nice but it's outside of my price range, plus I don't need all the extra capabilities.

Anyway, the reader will be used for recreational reading only, so all I really need is one that will have most content and latest releases. My goal is to stop buying non-reference paper books for I have no place to store them anymore!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
