Hello, asphodel, and welcome to MobileRead.
Check out our wiki on the different devices here,
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_devices
haunt the different forums, and ask questions when you need to . Lots of differing opinions on the different ebook readers, but eventually you'll decide which one will be best for you.
The Kindle is a great device and if you plan to buy most of your books the amazon store has the best prices. Also, the 'instant' gratification is fun.
The Sony gives easiest access to library ebook downloads. Books close at the end of the loan period, no more late fees!
Others will chime in with their devices. They are all great..........the hardest part will be choosing the best one for you.
Enjoy the journey.
