Thanks for all the help everyone. I think I have a fairly good grasp now of where to find books and how it all works. This saved a lot of time for me because there are so many threads on this forum and it would take a long time to sift through all of them. I am a software developer and all this was confusing for me. You really helped clarify.
It looks like the EZ Reader will work great for me. I have gotten rid of most of my hard-copy library to free up space in my home and I was hoping to go mostly digital, except for military history magazines or larger picture books. It looks like I will mostly be able to achieve this goal.
One thing I have noticed though is that I do read mostly non-fiction history and there appears to be a dearth for the Mobipocket format. For example, I found Antony Beevor's book on the Spanish Civil War that I have yet to read, but was unable to find his very excellent book on Stalingrad.
I expect this will correct itself as E Books become more popular. I would very much like to have access to either Sony's or Amazon's catalog, but I did not want to get stuck into their very specific DRM formats. The Kindle looks terrible and Sony eliminated their online music store, so I don't trust them with their e-book store.
Once again, thanks everyone, have a Happy Holidays and go read some books!
