I want to read books, not just buy them.

Ended up getting a Kobo Elipsa 2E myself a while back, and it's been a real pleasure to use. There's no stupid device-level DRM on it to try and prevent me from actually using it for my reading, and the onboard storage is just a simple microSD so it's really easy to upgrade if I want to fit even more books.

KOReader has been a real treat to run on it, letting me sync books from my home NAS over WebDav, push books directly to it over scp, I've even been poking at a plugin to have it automatically sync books off of a local reading tracker I've written.
