I first started reading ebooks from the Baen free library on my Palm PDA using plucker formatted books, and eventually started buying ebooks from Fictionwise and elsewhere. By the time the Kindle and Nook came out, I had accumulated enough books that they wouldn't all fit on a Kindle, but I could side load them all on a Nook, so I went the Nook route.
Eventually, I thought I'd like to have a frontlighted ereader, but by then B&N had dropped the microSD card slot on their reader, so I switched to a Kobo Glo HD, which doesn't have an external card slot, but the internal memory is a microSD card that can easily be replaced with a larger capacity card. Since Kobo attempts to maintain customer loyalty with their price matching, unless something is sold exclusively at Amazon, I usually get every book I'm interested in at the Amazon sale price or cheaper.
I don't check out the Amazon ereaders very often, but I'm pretty sure they still have a much smaller capacity than what I'd like to maintain on my ereader. I'm still not sure what I'll do when my Kobo Glo HD kicks the bucket, since the latest Kobos don't appear to have either internal card slot either.
