I'm just not sure which one to get her. I already have a kindle - which she likes, but it can't read ePub. I'm also looking to spend about $200.00. So far I've looked at the Sony Pocket, but I was curious if anyone had any other recommendations.
Before you buy anything, check with the library and see which specific devices they support. Most library loan systems are tailored to Sony devices and to a few PDA-based readers. You'd feel really silly if you bought a device the library doesn't support. If the library is supported by Overdrive, Sony is probably your best choice. I don't know about other suppliers.
