Anyone wishing for an e-reader might want to check out the Aluratek Libre, now available through Costco for a better price than I've seen it anywhere else online. The only thing it doesn't have is a touch-screen, but the high-end Sonys that have those are way out of the budget range!

I'm not on their payroll, but this is definitely on my wish list.
