Instead of getting a new bookcase ... Beginning of the Search

I love to read. I have three bookcases and four boxes in the garage full of books to prove it. As I start packing for my big move Monday, I realized that all these books are such a hassle. Plus, carrying books around in your backpack can be heavy and annoying.

Thus, my solution is to purchase an eReader.

Here is what I am hoping to find in an eReader
-Good amount of memory for books
-Ability to highlight passages and enter in notes
-Expandable memory
-Formats: pdf, doc/rtf (optional but a plus)
-Decent battery life (at least a couple weeks.)
-ability to check out books from the library
- and of course, affordable

The contenders so far are
-The Kindle 2 by Amazon
-Nook by Barnes and Noble
-Aluratek Libre eBook Reader Pro
-Sony eReader Touch PRS 600
-Sony eReader PRS 300 (a smaller version)
-Kodo by Borders (I think)
