I know what I am looking for in a reader but don't know which reader fits best!!
Hello.
I have been waiting to see what is new out there, but can't wait anymore. I hope you can help me out.

I live in the US
I read casually mostly new fiction
I need the option to download the library ebooks to the device bc mine offers quite an extensive library of them.
I will also buy the books online
I read primarily at home
Mostly read in the dark and also outside in sunlight (I prefer e ink for this reason)
I would like a device with internet access, wifi, 3G whatever...

With these "wants" I would love to see what you recommend.
Thanks a bunch!!

The Nook hit's on every point even checking out books from the library.
It's perfect for you


I love mine

that's exactly what I was thinking, but didn't know if there was something out there that I was unaware of that may be better. I would love to be able to buy the books from amazon, but B&N will have to do.
Thanks so much everyone!!

You'll find the selection to be on par with each other and well as the prices.

The larger selection and price advantage Amazon once enjoyed 7 or 8 months agon is all but gone.

Barnes and Noble has caught up in a big way.

You'll have to decide whether to purchase the Nook with kust WiFi or with WiFi AND 3G connectivity. It is about a $40 difference.

Just think about where your life's routines take you. If you have a Barnes & Noble nearby, you're connected as soon as you enter the door - for reading, downloading, et al. If your other daily destinations have WiFI access, you might not need the 3G connectivity.
