I can't really provide any feedback on browsing with any of the devices...I've only had a Kindle 3, and I don't bother to browse with it. I agree with one of the comments that a tablet type device would be better for lots of browsing...however for long reading sessions, I prefer the e-ink screens on the e-readers.

Like others, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Calibre. I use FLAG (flagfic.com) to download stories in epub/mobi format from some sites, or direct download from others (AO3) and covert them as necessary in Calibre and load them on my Kindle.

FWIW, I absolutely DETEST PDF format for ebooks, even when reading on my PC. It can really look awful sometimes. So I stick to mobi/epub formats.

That's why I want the e-readers, because I have long-reading sections, and eventually with my smartphone, my eyes start to feel strained... But I've been hearing things about Sony, so *cross fingers*

Thanks for your input!

Whichever device you pick I highly recommend Calibre for organizing your ebooks/fanfiction.

email me at amalthia at gmail.com and I can share the link to my content server so you can get an idea of how custom columns may be useful. :) if you're interested that is.
