The eBookWise can read many best-sellers (not all, sadly), is $89.99 or so, and it's a really nice little machine. I've had mine for a couple of years now and never had a bit of trouble with it except I ran over the USB plug with my desk chair and now have to wiggle it to get it to fit into the eBookWise. Full disclosure--Fictionwise has NOT paid me for this endorsement. However, if they wish to do so, I will happily accept payment or a new USB cord.
