My choice was the CyBook
My only experience with an e-book reader is the Cybook Gen 3. I got it a year ago and absolutely love it. I did quite a bit of research before purchasing it and decided it was the best option for me. It is quite easy to download books and I have hundreds. I can move them on and off the Cybook easily to keep just the books I want with me at all times.
I also have an IPod Touch and downloaded the free apps "IKindle" and "Stanza". I'm not always in a wireless area and you have to be in order to download a book. I read books on both and consider them both to be good. Depending on the book I want to read, I look at all the formats and choose the cheapest!
The Cybook Gen 3 does allow you to download books from the library, providing they are in a supported format (mobi). This is also easy and the books just disappear when the time has expired.
I'm sure they are all good devices and your husband will be happy with withever one you choose.
