For me, the perfect ebook device would be one that I could download books from the local library on (wouldn't have to be wireless). I'd pay $300 for such a device.

As it is, I have the ebookwise 1150. It's easy to use, the battery lasts for a couple of weeks between charges, and it only cost me $139. I have a dozen or so free classics on it, and it suits me fine.

I have the kindle and love it. The readability is great and I like that it isn't so thin. As long as I can convert ePUB to the kindle format I'm fine. I wish the library was larger overall. It doesn't have any Ayn Rand except Anthem right now and other classics.

Since I travel a ton, it's nice to have the wireless feature as well though I don't consider it a deal breaker.

I would have never paid full price for the Kindle. I got it for $200 and consider that a reasonable price. The discount for electronic format from amazon is nice as well.

This is the one I use. And if you download the GEBLibrarian software, you can convert other formats to also read on it.
