- e-ink
- small, lightweight (about the size of a paperback book, ideally)
- expandable storage
- ability to play mp3's (I could get by without this one)
- $259 or less
Here are the problems:
- I want both Adobe DRM (fictionwise) and azw DRM (amazon). And everything I've read says that's not possible without DRM stripping.)
- I want to be able to borrow ebooks from libraries.
- I like Kindles. (which from what I've seen does not go with library borrowing)
I already have a whole bunch of free books from various sources I have downloaded. Is it possible to de-DRM several files at once? How long does it take? Is it worth the trouble?
I also like the Kobo, but then I can't read all my free amazon books on it. Sigh. I don't really care about internet connectivity, though it would be nice. Mostly I just want to be able to put a whole bunch of books in one nifty little gadget. Oh, and e-ink.
Maybe the perfect ereader will come out before July. Sigh.

The Nook should fill those need very nicely. I think it hit's on every one of your points and needs.
