The differences to research before buying:
  • e-ink or not e-ink (BIG difference)
  • What DRM'd formats does it accept?
  • What other file formats does it accept?
  • How does it organize books on the device?
  • What user-input capacities does it have? (Bookmarks, annotations, notes, etc, and can they be exported?)
  • How glitchy is it? (Not, "is it glitchy." How common are the glitches, and what flavor do they come in? Because all these devices are glitchy, and the people here at MR often know more about them than their own tech support departments.)
Start with those, figure out your dealbreaker points, and then research what's left.
