That's the reason why i am not sure about Kindle.
If you get most your ebooks via library, then maybe your library has a recommendation. I have heard that newest Kobo (Kobo Aura One) has integrated Overdrive, but this could be a bit expensive for a first ereader.

A lot depends how you get your ebooks.

1. via library
2. purchasing from Amazon
3. purchasing from anywhere else
4. hunting everywhere over the net for free, mostly in pdf and djvu format, and you already have a bunch of them on your computer

if #1, then check if your library has a recommendation.
If #2, a Kindle will be reasonable.
If #3, then anything else but a Kindle.
If #4, then check the hardware specs - a microSD slot and at least 512MB RAM are absolutely necessary.
