Hello everybody!
I am new here since I was not thinking about purchasing an eReader before.
I was pretty happy with my software eReaders I installed on my desktop, which I am tied to like a dog on a leash.
But reading from my screen hurts my eyesight a lot, and this is exactly what brought me here.
I'm now looking for knowledgeable people who could give me a good advise as to a proper hardware eReader device that would perfectly (well, at least as much as possible) comply with a set of obligatoey requirements:
1. capable of displaying texts in several formats, not only dedicated ones (.txt, .pdf, epub, etc.) and images (jpg, jpeg, bmp, gif, png, etc.);
2. capable of displaying texts using non-Latin letters (Cyrillic; Japanese - characters, hiragana, katakana) and diacritic signs used in certain European languages (Czech, French, Polish, German, etc.); if needed, capable of downloading and installing respective fonts;
3. the interface of the device can and preferably should be in English;
4. should be eye-friendly to prevent from further worsening of the already damaged vision;
5. capable of downloading books from different sources, not only from a dedicated one;
6. size and weight should be portable;
7. the price should not exceed $200-$250.
Is it my mad dream or such a device does exist?
Any reliable trustworthy response will be highly appreciated.
Regards, and best wishes to everybody,
