I have an Ebookwise 1150 (http://www.ebookwise.com/). It’s great for just reading books. Very easy to hold and turn pages, has backlighting (so you can read it in the dark), the battery lasts literally for days between recharging, and it only cost me $140. Has a little stylus so you can scribble notes on pages, which are saved so you can go back to them later. Doesn’t have wireless like the Kindle, but it was much cheaper. I load several books on the device before I travel, so I don’t really need wireless. It’s great for reading at the airport and on the airplane.

I have that one too, actually, I have two of them. I blew up my first one by removing the chip while the device was on. Don’t do that. Bad juju.

Then I bought one and thought it had a screen burn (operator error), so I bought a second one to replace it, now I have two.

One goes with me everywhere. Jury duty, airports, anyplace that I may have to wait.
