There's a ton of books I'd like to read, and a ton of books I should be reading. Yet carrying around a load of dog-eared paperbacks, although the most ideal way to read, is not always the most practical. I'm thinking of getting an e-reader, yet I have no clue as to what are the best.

Primarily I want to read books (rather than surf the web or watch movies) so a bog-standard Kindle might be the best option -- but I'd have to be committed to Amazon, then.

Anybody, feel free to comment below and give your opinion as to what is the best e-reader to have, for someone who doesn't have enough hands or suitcase space to carry around all those books . . .
