Thanks for the replies.

I'm looking for a reader that generally has lowest e-book prices. I'm not so concerned about format although I thought (incorrectly) that one format may be less expensive to produce due to lower production costs and licensing fees, etc. So I can assume that a third-party e-book retailer will charge the same amount regardless of format or device?

I have to correct something I wrote that caused a misunderstanding. My library isnt going to e-books. The opposite is occurring. Budget cuts will force them to remove the internet, interlibrary loans, online database, and reduce working hours and materials by up to 50%. To feed my reading habit I was hoping to purchase a device for reading only and it's e-books the cheapest way.
