You could try a Kobo

Its just a basic eBook, no bells or whistles.

I'm personally looking into getting an Ebook Reader eventually. Mainly because I think this would help my mother with her reading. She has bad right shoulder problems and has difficulty reading hardcovers, of which many of my books are right now. As such, I think one of these might do her justice since it would relieve the stress of holding a hardcover does to her right shoulder.

I know I'm looking at getting a Nook for books I read when I'm not at home. I was going to get one recently until I learned that a new one is supposedly coming out in December, so figured I'd just wait for the next model.

I over-clocked my Nook today.
You can go ahead and write your essays on who you admire most about me.

Lol, Best Buy just cornered the retail market for ereaders, they now carry the Kindle, Nook, Sony Daily Edition, and the iPad. I have the nook and iPad now, prefer reading on the nook but I tend to have the iPad eith me more. Anyways, speaking from having a nook, and playing around with a kindle before that, i think it really is just personal preference. The keyboard is ugly on tne kindle but if it works for you, go for it.

do pages turn faster now? i'm considering hacking mine since it's an android os. and by hacking i mean seeing if the homebrew community hasn't found a way to make it run better than bn does.

Really, I didn't notice any difference. With firmware 1.4 the pages turn as fast as I want them too.
Also, it might not be a good idea to overclock them because supposedly B&N is cracking down on it. None of the new ones can be rooted and the 1.4.1 firmware screws up the method I used.
I've already reset mine back to normal since I didn't notice any great difference.
