If you just want an eReader then I would imagine a Kindle is the best bet.
About €110 from amazon.com.
The big problem I have with the Kindle is that if you sign up for a newspaper subscription Amazon/Kindle charge you to deliver it on top of the fee you've paid to the publisher.
The new one has a PDF reader as standard.

I got a Kindle and downloaded all my books in an extra-legal manner - can't be beaten I don't think. Price is great, just get yourself a cover to protect it if it's in your bag or anything and you're set.

Just got a kindle. Wondering is there much sites with free books?

Also don't forget to check Amazon as they sometimes have free ebooks. Generally though the free stuff will be old classic books, self help books and educational stuff. There are ways to get loads of free books if you use a warez site or similar.
As you start to build up your library you definitely should use Calibre (get it here) it does absolutely everything you'll need, including converting formats, sending stuff to your Kindle and organizing all your books, and it's free.
