The Kindle seems to be the clear leader in my comparisons right now - Amazon also offers an Android app (I may be getting a new phone soon as well).
The books being available is a moot point as the books are included in tuition and if an eBook is used, I will have access through the school to download it. The more I think about it, the more I think I would prefer a dedicated eBook reader. I might be too distracted by or tempted by all the other stuff I would have on an iPad. Now I just need to decide if I want the larger screen. I have read that for textbooks, the smaller screen may not be the best option.
