We don't want to spend a lot downloading bestsellers but want a selection of books.
The iPod can do more than just books but has a small screen for reading.

Welcome to MobileRead, Jim.
just my opinion, but I wouldn't use the ipod....screen way too small.
Remember........there are thousands of ebooks available at no charge....public domain, true, but also by independent authors, and you are sure to find a great selection in your favorite genres.
The Sony gets great raves for the ease of downloading library ebooks...depending on where you live, many libraries are stocking more and more in their selection. If the one closest to you doesn't have a good selection, there are lots out there that do.......some you have to pay for, some are free. check out our wiki for more info.
The Kindle has the best price on books, and, I think, the best selection and whispernet, depending on where you live. You have a 30 day no questions asked return policy, only pay shipping back.
You are right about one thing.....its a lot more confusing than when I bought mine a year ago.
Good luck and enjoy the forums.
