Since when do you live in LA? Wait... Shreveport, right?

Most are packed away in my garage.
I twitched a little at that.
The sony that I looked at was the Daily Edition. Its kind of big, but it allows you to buy memory cards so I wouldn't have to replace the reader. Which is good, because its rather expensive at about $350.
I'm not sure you need memory cards. For instance, with the Sony at least (and LitDog can probably verify this for the Kindle), you can add and remove books at will. My e-reader holds about 128 MB, which in terms of space is virtually nothing. Luckily, in the world of e-books that's a lot; text takes up very little room (a normal ebook is well under 2MB). So even if I had 5000 ebooks, I could just keep them on the computer and then add whatever I need to read.
So you wouldn't have to get a new reader; it would be like having a 16 GB iPod and a 20 GB music collection. You would just add and remove the files as necessary. Memory cards are a scam in e-readers, since you aren't going to be reading 100 books at once!
I hope that made sense.

Oh goodness. You're one of them border-folk. Glad to see you're not from the frozen hinterlands. *NM*

Sure, seems like the right board to me.
