iphone + one of the numerous reader apps. I suppose a lot depends on how you source your books.

After quick search there's the Cybook Gen3, Sony Reader & Hanlin v3. There could be plenty more to look at. Putting my recent purchase aside, I've always gone for devices that perform multiple functions or tasks well.
