At the moment your reading costs are near zero.
How much are willing to spend to read an ebook? If your budget will be the same, then you'll be confined to free and $1.99 indie ebooks. Then the basic least expensive ereader will suffice.
If your favorite authors are mainstream, then be prepared to spend $9.99 - $12.99 for an ebook. Budget doesnt permit? Then dont buy an ereader.
At the moment it seems you would be paying a high price for convenience as you have access to unlimited books cheaply.
