The ability to borrow library books if you have them near you is a real issue to consider. The "open" e-pub which Kindle competitors crow about is a non issue. New issue books in e-pub are drm'd just like the Kindle books are. The books that are "open" e-pub format are almost always available in kindle friendly formats or are easily converted with Calibre and others. I've had Kindle, Sony, and nook and like the Kindle best. Amazon is not an evil big brother you'll be tied to. Amazon actually has the easiest, most seamless interface, the biggest selection, best prices and best customer service. I've had the others I know of what I speak. You can also read your Kindle books on many different devices, iPhone, iPad, PC, Mac. But the library thing, no, not on a Kindle. Not yet that is.
