I have had an ebook reader from ebookwise.com for a year and a half. It'll read just about anything in txt doc etc once its gone through the FREE converter online. It was $125 and with a 2gb card holds over 200 books. I've filled it with hundreds of free books from manybooks.net and project gutenburg. It doesnt have e-ink or play mp3s but as an avid reader it works great for me.
