Ebook Readers

I know I'm a bit late to the party but +1 for the Sony ereader

Love my ereader... I still read the occasional paper book but it's getting less and less.

I went with a Sony and use Calibre to manage my library. I got the Sony because it handles a lot of formats (excl. mobi but with Calibre that's not an issue) and doesn't seem to be as picky about proper formatting - I've been able to read books my buddy with his Kobo was unable to open. I also like it because it doesn't try and box you in to a particular reseller like a Kindle or Kobo.

Whatever ereader you go with I can't overemphasize Calibre as the software of choice to manage it. I've tried a few different ereader/library managers out but I always come back to Calibre. It has a bit of a Windows95 vibe to it but it's truly the best ereader manager out there. As a general rule the software that comes with the ereader isn't typically very good (Sony is no exception).

Happy ereading...

Cheers,
Daryl
 
Thanks for all the suggestions and feedback, guys. Met quite a couple of travelers who made the switch and it really is incredible how close it is to reading a book (in terms of lighting).

I can't spare it right now, but I'm gonna grab one when I start working again. I'm carrying 4 books with me right now and it's starting to get ridiculous lol
