Didn't want to bring up an old thread, so starting new.

In reference to this, from an old thread

This one sounds fantastic (although, expensive). It has universal file support.

Would anyone know if I can d/l books from my local library? I can't seem to find the info on their site & I'm new to all of this.

I presume, but don't know, the library is in epub (?) & if so, then I believe this would support it.

Also wondering if their "One" would be their main reader (as opposed to the Neo). The Neo seems to support less file formats.

Thanks for any info. you may have on this e-reader. I am so undecided in buying one of these. Main reasons: Kindle is very nice but I can't buy from Amazon.CA & I don't want to buy on U.S. in U.S. dollars. Also, there is a .10 cent charge to get your purchase delivered to your e-mail (so a friend who has one, has told me.)
& Kobo d/l's from local library (big plus) & in Canadian $$'s, but the current version has reviews that it is slow & pushing the button to changes pages is too difficult & after about 30 or so mins. of reading, it starts to hurt. Maybe if they updated this model, it would be better.

The only all in one reader I seem to have found, so far, seems to be this bebook.

The "One" is their old model. Good reader but somewhat outdated. The "Neo" is currently their main reader. It supports practically all the formats you could possibly want, including MS Office formats, but not .lit. However, format support should not be that important. It's easy to convert. If you don't care about touchscreen and Wifi you might prefer the "Club" which is the same as the Neo minus those features.
All Bebook readers support Epub with Adobe DRM, which is probably what your library uses.

The Bebook Neo is a rebranded Onyx Boox 60. It might be cheaper to buy an Onyx on your side of the ocean.
