Based on having looked at most of the EReaders and tried them out, I have judged that I would not purchase an EReader, unless I were doing a lot of traveling. That said, my cell phone is a Blackberry Torch, and a new app has just become available for it that would allow me to use IT as an EReader. Since it's already purchased, and the app would be free, I would likely choose that option - why waste money I don't have, right? For my reading, I prefer a real, honest-to-mergatroid book. Musty paper-smell and all. With my finances being what they are, I even get most of my reading from the Library - just can't get past that free part! :D My only real interest in EReaders in on my son's behalf, as they have been recommended for him as an alternative to things like the hand-held gaming systems.
From what I read about the first three steps to downloading a book for my phone, they would be:
1) Download the app
2) Bring up the application which is supposed to link me directly to a browsing-enabled selection of titles. It's supposed to also be possible to connect to other options, which would lead to other steps. (Since my phone is internet-capable, I would probably be able to even go the Overdrive route in some manner.)
3) Depends on the title - for free ones, immediately download. For not-so-free titles, they have to be purchased prior to downloading. not likely in my case !~)
