I had looked into getting an Ebook (I think it was called the Rocket Ebook, but its name has changed). They used to be great. On the first versions, you were able to not just buy and download ebooks, but also import texts of your own into it Ebook's memory.

But then they crippled it by making new versions ONLY display books that you have bought from the company. The current versions have no capability for you to import any text of your own. So there goes reading the thousands of free gutenburg copyright free texts.

When it first came out, I was considering getting one. Now I absolutely will not.
