It's really about the books...
So I'm thinking my choice is going to be based on availability and portability of books. The Kindle/Amazon combination is unacceptable because of their DRM - I'm not willing to buy books that can only be read on a Kindle. EPub devices look like a good choice for portability between devices, but there don't seem to be that many real bookstores that sell Epub books. (I really want the selection of a big bookstore.)

So is there a viable choice that gives a good selection of books without device lock-in through DRM? To be clear, I don't mind paying for books and I don't mind reasonable DRM, I just don't want my entire library to be locked in to one vendor's hardware.
