You mention having a backlight. Anything you get that is backlit will drain the battery. I have a Nook that I use with a Nook Light that clips on when I am reading in bed. It doesn't move around on my reader or cause other problems. It is also super light so I hardly notice it. The Nook works great with library books and can use any ADE DRMed epubs. The font on the Nook was fine before, but after the new update the font is much darker and stands out more. You also can change the font size so it is easier to read. My battery on my Nook lasts anywhere from 4-10 days before charging and I read anywhere from 2-4 books a week and never turn it off.
The Kindle can load some library books if they offer mobi, but around here they are all going to epub. Yes, there is a way to convert them, but most have their own DRM and you would need to strip this first. If you are planning on using library books, I would personally stay away from the Kindle.
If you are interested in the Pandigital Novel then I would look at the Pocketbook IQ. But again, if you go with a tablet the battery won't last very long.
Good luck!
