E-Reader Envy

I want one. Mostly because I want to be able to load it with a ton of classic books I want to read, but don’t want to spend all the money buying (since I can grab ‘em from Feed Books or the like) or shelving them. Yes, I could get them from the library, but that defeats the purpose of impulse reading. Most of my library is impulse reading based- it’s not that I impulse buy books, but I stock my personal shelves with books I know I’ll read on impulse and need them at arm’s length. If I have to go to a store or a library to feed my impulse, I’ve done something wrong

Anyway, to me the perfect e-reader would use e-ink, support ePub and PDF (since I have a large e-library of these e-books….are you getting sick of e-everything?  So am I, so am I) and be under 300$. To this extent both the Sony PRS 505 and the new and up and coming Cool-ER both fit in nicely. The 505 is a bit spiffier…and a bit nicer.

Ah well, just a bit of rambling.  The prices need to drop on these machines still.
