Kobo ebooks are the best for this, just plug them in a computer and they act as a USB key. Calibre can manage them too. Some models have a SD card slot for a lot more storage too.
Second, I run a fleet of kobos for the family, they alsonwork pretty well with the libraries around the area which the kids love.
i have an older Kobo Glo, which does not have the library integration, but i am wanting to do exactly the same as you. get a few to take with us, and use the library borrowing to get books to read.
