My favorite reader is a PocketBook HD 3, but a lot of people here like Kobos better. One of the reason I bought (and like) the PocketBook is because I use Linux and so I couldn't install Adobe Digital Editions (never could get Wine working right with ADE). The PocketBook has ADE built in. The PocketBook also has page turn buttons at the bottom (kind of like a Sony, but in different positions). If you don't care about the buttons and don't need to worry about ADE on the device (and you want a 6" screen), the Kobo Clara (either HD or 2E) is pretty nice.

With the Calibre plugins DeDRM and DeACSM you can bypass Adobe Digital Edition altogether. But I don't like to remove DRM from library books so I usually just move my Overdrive ACSM files to the PocketBook and let it take care of downloading the ePub (leaving DRM intact).
A less expensive PocketBook alternative would be the Touch Lux 5 (it has 212 dpi screen instead of 300 dpi) but it's still a pretty nice reader.
