I would say the best for me would be IPAD if I needed to read pdf's in color with diagrams medical, law, technical stuff.

This topic of which is BEST ereader is very fluid and changes every few months if you want the latest and greatest.

I have the 505 sony for over year and I liked it because paper books print was becoming too small for me in different lighting situations and with the sony I could change the FONT size so that I could read the words without glasses. Battery life is 2 or 3 weeks on one charge. With the exception of pdf's that are technical it's great for pleasure and mediation type reading.

If you were thinking of spending 400-500 dollars I would choose the IPAD over the Iliad or kindle DX , because IPAD is multi-use device and ILIAD only has 10 battery life in black and white and IPAD is 10 battery life in color and nice touchscreen.

The question has to be personal about "best ereader" because we all read different type books and tend to read in different locations/lighting conditions etc. But it is valid for everyone to say what they love at the moment and why we recommend a certain ereader so it can spark new ways of doing stuff and possible limitations that a person never thought about before, or heads-up so they don't buy something that has "problems" that they had.
