Ok, I've been doing quite a bit of research and have pretty much decided that I want to get an e reader, as long as it is $200 or less. I have narrowed the field to a few devices that seem to meet my budget requirements:

Sony PRS 300
JetBook Lite
Aluratek Libre
Astak Pocket Pro

I haven't compared the two screen technologies side by side yet but hope to this weekend. Other than that, I want to be able to read ebooks from the library, which it seems that all the readers on my list support except for the JetBook, right? I'm also wondering which, if any, support books purchased from Barnes & Noble (without having to strip the DRM)? That's not a deal breaker but I have a gift card from them that I'd like to use for ebook purchases if possible.

Any other readers I'm missing?

Thanks for the help. This forum is a great resource!
