I would really like to get an e-book reader once I have the funds. In the mean time, I'm researching. What different readers are available? What ones do folks recommend, and why? Are there any you'd recommend avoiding, and why?
To be clear: I'm looking at devices, rather than software. I don't want to have to read the books on my computer. Something like the Kindle or the Sony ebook reader are the things I'm thinking of.
 
I refuse to give my money to Amazon as I have serious issues with them in several areas. I have used three since I started reading ebooks six years ago. The first one was palm sized, a Franklin ebookwise. I loved that one. After that I bought a Pocket PC to read my books. I liked the versatility of the gizmo (used it even to connect to the internet). I now use a Sony ebook reader. It is the second "dedicated" device I've used for mobile ebook reading. It is pretty easy to use, the screen is large, I can control the font size and I can read in multiple formats.

I'd say check both the Kindle and the Sony reader. See what their main features are. Compare, and go from there. Kindle is more expensive than the Sony reader btw.
 
I use 2 ebook readers :)

My favorite is Adobe Acrobat PDF reader, because most of the ebooks i find are in PDF format! There wonderful :)
If i can only find a DOC file of a book, i just convert it to a PDF with Doc2Pdf.net :)

I also really enjoy Microsoft Reader, which i use for all my LIT files :)

Every now and then, the occasion calls for me to use WinRar, copy and past into a DOC file, and convert it to a PDF, but that only happens every now and then :)

EDTI:
I bougt a kindle 2 months ago, and its been fabulous!
