We don't own any at our library, but I have a Sony eReader for my personal use and love it. I wanted something that didn't limit me to a specific purchasing outlet in order to have content. At the moment I have 19 books loaded on it, most of which are from the Gutenberg Project. It is small, portable, and has a reasonable battery charge.

Specifically, what platform are people using and why? I know there are proprietary format issues for instance but any other info would be extremely useful.
