Ebook readers

From Maya Kaathryn Bonhoff, who's been researching opinions on the various ebook readers:

One source notes that the best-reviewed reader devices are, in order of user happiness: Kindle, Nook, iPad and Stanza (which will run on a number of platforms)

I've done only limited tests on my Nook reader, and am not even sure what format it uses. But I'm hoping to be able to do some serious testing as soon as I can stop to take a breath.

I expect the iBook readership to grow, in part because the iBook will read epub and PDFs, and because it's so freakin' easy to put a book you acquired or created into your iBook reader. You literally take the file and drag it into iTunes, and then drag it from iTunes to the iPad or iPhone icon. Poof! You have a new book on your shelf. And iTunes/iBook doesn't care where you got it. This is the biggest drawback with the Kindle reader for iPad/phone—you have to buy books through Amazon, you can't just download them easily from your computer.
