Help me, oh wise flist

[ishtar79]

So I've been dowloading e-books like crazy for my MBA final project thing because duh, academic books are expensive. And this post should in no way be considered related to the current "to download illegally or not" clusterfuck, because-duh. Anyone who knows me even a little bit can guess my views on file sharing.

I'm thinking of getting an e-reader, but don't know what a good option is. Obviously I covet the allmighty iPad, but it's a liiiitle bit over my budget right now. Can anyone recommend me a decent e-reader somewhat in the lower price range?

Oh, thanks for the link!

See, the PDF issues is why I'd rather wait, because most of the books I d/l are in that format. I also really, REALLY want to read comic books on it, for which I probably need an iPad. The prices are bound to drop eventually, right?

The prices will drop, and there'll be a market for used iPads as soon as people figure out that they're not, in fact, laptop replacements, and other tablets will show up.

I'm annoyed that I can't read comics on my Sony Reader, but on the other hand, I don't know that I'd ever get any *work* done if I could put *everything* I wanted to read on one device.
