The PRS 505 and PRS 700 both come with Adobe Digital Editions. You could take a look at both at Target or Borders. The PRS 700 is very polarizing, with some loving it and others strongly disliking the screen clarity and glare and the battery life. So it is best to see it in person.

The Sony's are the only EInk devices that can read Secure Adobe ebooks (like your library ebooks). There might be other vendors with Adobe Digital Editions on EInk devices by this summer, but projected release dates tend to get missed - so I would not wait.

We have not typically had much advance notice of new Sony Readers. So there might be a reader with wireless in the wings, but there definitely won't be a color EInk version any time soon. It would be unusual for Sony to release two Readers in a year, so I would bet against a update this spring.

No matter how you are reading ebooks, if you have any DRM-free content at all you should be using Calibre to manage it for you. It can format shift practically any DRM-free ebook to LRF or ePub for a Sony. The ePub will be readable via Desktop Adobe Digital Editions as well.
