can the e-ink readers take multiple file formats or just PDF?

      Not as far as I know, but I consider that a plus. It runs the Linux kernel and you can write your own apps (there's an API out there somewhere). You can also sideload Koreader and run apps through that.

      It's an incredibly open device. No locking down of anything and it can chew through just about any format.

      The color ones are cool too

          Yeah, they're definitely gonna be your cheapest option. All the good e-ink screens are coming out of China. Their domestic market consumes almost everything, but PocketBook seems to be the first to get it internationally whenever something new comes out. Or at least the first that makes reliably good devices.
