Welcome to MobileRead Dave. I think you will find that uniformity of thought is about the last thing we have around here.

As you may have already found, there are e-ink people (iLiad, Sony, and a few more at the moment with a few more promised soon) and LCD people (PDAs like the Palms and older ereaders.) Some use tablet PCs and a few are starting to go the way of ultra mobile pcs or UMPC. They are all right.

Check out our Wiki (there is a link at the top left of the page.) There are charts showing the attributes of each device, what format displays on what device, and a page of conversion utilities for changing formats.

If you do decide on a device that supports LRF (Sony only) or the MobiPocket format (many devices including a free download for your pc) MobileRead has a great download eBook section of public domain ebooks contributed by the members.

Look around, kick the tires, and ask any questions you want. We all started here the same way.
