ebook readers are not at a state of sophistication that can satisfy power users, academics, or others who are interested in doing more than elementary reading and book buying.
Wait at very least until CES in January. There is expected to be a fairly sizable tablet/ebook presence, and 2010 in general may see the technology mature a little bit. I'm really hoping 2010 sees better hardware design and adoption of better screen technologies.
If you need something now, perhaps check out some small form tablets by Archos. I don't know if they'd be satisfactory either, but they are much better than any current ebook reader for general usability.
