Hey all,

I just found your corner of the net here and I'm impressed. These days there's a definitive forum for every possible niche--from pink trenchcoats missing two buttons to expired food stamps--this appears to be the one for e-readers.

My first glimpse of one of these (a Sony) was this summer on a train to work. It was a Sony and looked amazingly like paper! I've been cursorily reading into the various devices since then but have yet to own one.

I recently considered taking the plunge with a Kindle, but with the announcement of the Nook and Plastic Logic devices my head is spinning. I am leaning towards the Nook, but after the differences between Kindle 1 and Kindle 2 I'm concerned that I should wait for a subsequent generation product (especially given the rumors that such might display color, although I'm not sure that color will affect my reading habits all that much). But waiting for a newer, better model in the hopes it will be the last, best device will always be proven futile.

What I do know is that I want a device that comes with WiFi and is supported by one of the major online bookstores with the ability to download remotely and independent of WiFi.

Any input or comments would be greatly appreciated. I'll definitely be scouring the "Which one..." subforum!

Thanks for maintaining such a great wealth of info!
