Looking for a simple one

Hello world,

As I want to buy an eReader, and did not exactly knew what it should offer, and seeing the eReader market expanding just while i'm in search for one, I guess that I could use some advice.


In the beginning of my search for an eReader, I was quite amazed/amused by all the tech stuff that join the eReaders. And before I knew, I was like: "That seems a nice feature, and that could come handy, and maybe I could put some music on it, oh, and definitely a sudoko application for when I don't want to read and memory expansion sounds interesting for storing every single book available".
At that particular stage I wasn't able anymore to see the forest for the trees and I was missing the actual concept of an eReader.

Well, I guess I'm just looking for an eReader that is more like a physical book in electronical format than an electronical device with all sorts of gadgets and one of them is reading books.

An eReader that :
  • Is quiet simple
  • my eyes can bear long enough, just like a physical book.
  • Supports the most common formats, including a decent PDF-support. I would like the read romans from an eBook store, read some classical literature from project gutenberg, and read some non-fictional books/extracts/... .
  • A normal to long battery life would be nice, but I guess that's not a problem as the eInk displays are very small energy consumers.
  • And last, but not least. The price. As a student I don't have enormous loads of cash to spend, so I'm looking for an eReader in the lower-priced class. Let's say a maximum of 200 euro.


A thanks in advance,

And a good night for those who are about to follow me to sleep.
