Good luck with choosing a reader
I felt as you did and recently took the plunge and just got a basic reader to see if I would like it, and I'm so glad I did - I'm reading with it every day and really enjoying it. Sure, it's not perfect, and I don't use it to read all the stuff that I wanted to (like tehnical articles in PDF which no reader does a great job with yet), but it's great to have an excuse to upgrade when some new readers come out next year
