Hey group - I'm recently deciding to join the e-reader movement. I used to have a iPaq mobile with reader capability, but that has been left in the drawer for several years now.

I don't have a preference yet for a type of reader, but my particular needs for a reader are travel related, so I'm looking at the devices with this in mind. I live in the US and work on a project in Africa for extended periods of time, and find myself taking 4-5 books along, which creates bulk and weight in my luggage. For me, compactness, screen sharpness, and ruggedness are key. I'm considering the Sony PRS-300, but am open to other opinions!
