I'm glad this gets recognized. This is exactly what I mean. I suppose I could've been clearer in the OP.

Good advice in here, especially the Gmini Magicbook. However, I couldn't find any place to buy it. It's very disappointing how few e-readers are available in the Netherlands. I even had trouble finding some Ectaco products.

I realized that a device with a style like the Icarus Excel / Onyx M92 or the Pocketbook Pro 912 could also work, since I can just use my finger without triggering anything (right?). However, touch screens with styluses tend to be frustrating.

I've decided to just stay away from the pain and go with a Kindle DX White (I got one for 100 euros). I'm ordering an external LED reading light separately. Thanks for the help.
