I'm interested in this thread. I read a lot. My book budget gets stretched on occasion as I read fast. Not Evelyn Woods speed read fast, but can go through a medium novel in a day while in the stand during deer season..

Bought my oldest a Nook. We went for the $199.00 version that includes 3g. That way he doesn't have to find a wifi hot spot to get a book.

We also went with the 2 year replacement warranty. Pretty much if there is a piece of it left to send in they will replace it. I believe that was an extra $50.00.

The new color one is very cool but he's color blind so he wasn't really interested in that one.

We got my MIL the new charcoal one. I thought it was going to be lame, but it's a very cool gadget

Wife's got one and really likes it. She likes the ability to get all of those old books for free. Definitely not an iPad, more of a digital book reader :D
There is the Wi-Fi for wireless hot spots and the 3G for cellular internet.

I love my kindle.

I always recommend that you get the more expensive one, the one with the 3g. Otherwise, you have to have access to wi-fi.

There are indeed plenty of free classics, and even current bestsellers are very reasonably priced.

I bought my wife the nook for her birthday and she loves it. She likes the nook over the other ones she said because it was lighter. However I havent checked the weight personally
