Like others on the list, I'm a big fan of the Stream, which has a voice 
recorder, allows for bookmarking, and supports many filetypes, including 
brf, html, rtf, txt, audible, Bookshare, NLS, and RFB&D though I haven't 
tried RFB&D books myself. If you buy the softpack for $50, you can also read 
epub and doc files and record or maybe convert to mp3. I don't have the 
softpack, so this information is less reliable. finally, transferring files 
is really easy. You can either copy directly to the SD card or use the 
Humanware Companion software, which is also free.

I used the previous version of the Book Port and liked that very much as 
well, but the interface and transfer tool took alittle longer to get used 
to. I'm not sure if that's changed or not.

Just to complicate your life a little more, I know people who are happy 
users of the Booksense and the Book Courier. I don't have any experience 
with these, so I can't comment.

I recommend the Stream to anyone in the market for such a thing.
