I have not voted as my choice isn't really there.

Ideally, I pick the content, or at least the format, and let that dictate the machine. At the moment, there is not, a format I trust to be around for more than a few months. That has meant that I pick a format with good tools already available, so I can create my own content, even if they stop making the software. As a result, I mostly use iSilo and HTML.

So, to answer Jadon, everything I read on a screen is either Gutenberg (via Manybooks) or web-published fiction.
