I have a Kindle with keyboard (not the current model but the previous gen) and it's great. But I have no experience with any of the alternatives.
Related, "Calibre e-book management" is useful free software for converting various ebook formats.
my main gripe with the kindle is the fact that i need a light on to read with it
apart from that its the goods, i just dont know if i always want to have my light on (or have a light attached to it)
I use an asus transformer as an ebook reader for comics, does a great job, any cheap android tablet would do the trick aswell.
yeah im looking for something sub 200 if possible
found a few android tablets, just worried about things such as quality of display and battery life
the acer iconia occasionally goes for about $200, and is an absolute bargain when it does. Otherwise you'd be hard pressed to get a decent tablet at that price.
this one?

I have an elonex ebook which i find quite nifty and i dont get any eyestrain and the battery literally last months before it has to be recharged.

useless in the dark tho i assume?
If you're happy to pay $400+ for the android tablet, might as well go with the iPad 2 - $398 now from Big W.Quote:

If you're a big reader, I strongly recommend choosing one of the digital ink eReaders and not a tablet. It's just like The Damned says, while you may need to read under light like a real book, the eReader won't cause eye strain and is far lighter than a tablet. During a marathon reading session, these things matter. Not to mention holding up a half kg tablet in front of you for hours sucks!
It's also fantastic just being able to throw the thing into a bag and carry it around with you for months without having to worry about running out of juice. Those tablets maybe last a day tops on one charge?
