The Great Ereader Hunt

This week, I’m going to ask you for some help.  I’m looking into acquiring an ereader, and I’d like to know if you who use ereaders have any advice.

Here are a few of my thoughts.  The Kindle is still in black and white and needs to catch up.  I really don’t know that much about the iPad, other than that we are becoming an iWorld.  The iPad is not really an ereader, rather it just has the functionality of one.  I suppose that doesn’t really matter as long as I can read ebooks on them.  I was looking into the Novel by Pandigital, but they don’t have the best reviews.  The Novel and iPad allow users to integrate their reading with social media marketing.

I would like to know from you.  Do you have any positive or negative feedback about the Kindle, iPad, Novel, or any other ereader?

Here’s what I’m looking for:

*  Readability: I have to be able to read what’s on the screen.  This includes the backlight and the screen and font size.

* Usability: There must a wide range of books to choose from.  We’re talking a six digit library.  And the ability to connect to the Internet for social media marketing purposes would also be good.

* Tactile: A screen that responds to my touch.

* Memory: I am an avid reader, so the more books it can store the better.

Comment here, e-mail me, or Tweet me.

Thanks for your suggestions.
