Before deciding I "needed" an external reader, I downloaded both the Barnes and Noble and the Sony Readers onto my computer. Both were free to download and use.
By signing up with Sony (no purchase required - but a credit card is), I was able to access not only the "Google" free books, but also a lot of free books available from their Web site. Barnes and Noble let you download the first chapter for free, so it's a great way to check out whether you like the software.
Good LUCK!
