I got mine for $117 and am very pleased with the performance, battery life and easy-to-read screen. However, I bought it primarily to read non-DRMed books that I already had on my computer - from Gutenberg and other sources in txt, html and rtf. JBL is fantastic for these. I tried with typing in name and credit card for ereader books but found it a pain; so those and Amazon and Sony books (and PDFs) I just read on my 21 inch computer screen with the free reader software that each of these stores provides. I don't mind using whatever best suits the format of the book, and spend a lot of time on my computer anyway. I doubt if you will find a single device that meets ALL your needs for under $200 anyway, so my advice is to start with your budget and try to get the biggest bang for the buck. Everyone's needs and level of tolerance are different!
