E-reader with screen light but without touchscreen
Hi guys,

I'm looking for a new E-reader with a screen light like the Kindle Paperwite. But I would prefer one without a touchscreen, so I can hold it more comfortably with my fingers on the screen. Are there good E-readers out there that have a screen light and no touchscreen?

No such animal. If a reader is advanced enough to have a front light, it will only be in touchscreen.

Only Nook Simple Touch & Nook Simple Touch GlowLight have physical page turn buttons so you don't have to use touch the screen.

True, but not what the user was asking for. The user specifically did not want a touchscreen, so they could rest their fingers on the screen. The Glolight has a touchscreen, even though it also has page turn buttons.

Yeah, I don't mind touching the screen to turn pages. I would love it if they made one with touchscreen and pageturn buttons and a switch to toggle the touchscreen on and off, so you can enable it for the UI and disable it when acutally reading
