I've got a Sony Reader (1st gen, but it's still very functional) and the library is stored on my computer as well as the device. It currently is holding 71 books. Most I’ve already read, while others wait patiently. If I lose my Reader, I still have my library, plus Sony keeps track of my purchases. I could listen to podcasts (in mp3 format) but I choose to listen to those on my iPod (through my sub at iTunes). I've never been a fan of all in one devices, since the possibility of losing it or it becoming disabled means a loss of and inaccessibility to a lot of data - music, addresses, books, etc. I'm perfectly happy with my iPod, my Sony Reader, and my phone (so I can check my e-mail of course).
