  I have the Sony e-Reader from Borders/
  
  Pro's
  Can "carry" multiple books. (I think I have about 30 on there about now)
  Can enlarge print in 3 sizes
  holds a nice charge
  can fit nicely in a small purse. Think about paperback and very skinny.
  
  My personal cons
  I'm a speed reader and to "flip" pages has a little delay that is enough to drive me bonkers.
  Have to pay for dl's which are only like 2.00 or so less for an ebook then a paperback
  does not have the book smell (i'm an avid book addict)
  Took a little bit to figure out how to work things with the loader (think similar to itunes for the first use, only a slight bit more confusing)
  
  If you are net savy, it is possible to find free ebooks/short stories. I can recommned if you are interested in paranormal/romance. 
  
  I have a friend who has the Kindle and he said it's more user friendly then the Sony e-Reader.
  
  Hope this helps.

  I have a kindle and love it! Only complaint is I wish there was a light so I could read in bed!

  I got a Nook from H before the wedding and I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! First off... I love having access to all my books on the go. The prices aren't bad at all and it saves space in the house... and the color screen along the bottom is GORGEOUS! It's very portable and VERY VERY easy to use!
  
  There are also cases you can buy for $30 that have a flip out light

  I have a Kindle and I love it.  It's easy on the eyes and you can adjust the size of the letters if you need to.  There are also tons of free books - check this site.  There are usually more freebies for Kindle than for Nook.  http://inkmesh.com/

  I don't have a Nook or a Kindle, but I have an iPad and use the eReader apps.  I really enjoy having access to several books at one timeand not having to carry around a ton.  The books are also fairly inexpensive and easy to get- I was looking for one book in particular in the bookstore and didn't find it.  They're never out of something electronically
  
  If you have an iPhone or iPod touch, you can also use the eReader apps on that.

  Sorry for the delay, still getting use to the site and a pm wasn't working for me. Good area to hunt down paranormal romance is a site called bittenbybooks.com
  
  If you go around there, you will find many links for authors just starting or added ebooks for free. It's a review site for books. They also do contests and everything. Can also be found on facebook if you have it.
