I've been reading some of these threads and there's a lot of great information on what to get. I think the best way to get an answer on detailed needs is by making a new thread. This is what I need

1. I'm a Literature student
2. I'm on a budget
3. I need to read with high and low sunlight (inside and outside the house)
4. Dictionary support will be greatly appreciated
5. Allows me to upload most of the formats (I think I will need Calibre)
6. Good battery life
7. Internet (is that really necessary? I just need to carry on with my work habit... so preferably I don't want distractions)
8. (Easy) Good on the eyes (good e-ink) (I don't know how well formulated is this question)
9. I'll be in the US for the next ten (10) days.
10. Again, I'm on a budget: $150-200 will be my price range for this device.

So, basically: I want to read and upload tons of books on different formats, use the dictionary, read with high and low (sun)light, and that it holds a good battery life, while still ranging from the $150-200 range.

THANK YOU!
Plenty of options in that range.

1- What size range? How much portability do you want? 5in vs 6in
2- How picky are you on typographic controls? Do you want to control font, size margins, with single-point precision or do just a few zoom sizes suffice?
