Personally I think you should get a bit more picky then you have been:

1) Set a price limit: Up to $100, Between $100 and $150 and $150 and up (My Libra Pro is in the up to $100 category)
2) Do you want a touch screen (Try the Sony PRS)
3) Do you want simplicity of operation (Get the Kobo)
4) Do you want a lot of personalization (Kindle)
Well the thing is, excluding the first question, the rest are neutral for me.
1. I think price range should be between $100 and $150, but like I already mentioned, $200 is the maximum I'd like to pay.
2.Touch screen sounds good but it isn't something I particularly want.
3. Hmm, simplicity of operation would be something I prefer, but I'm assuming the others are relatively simple too?
4. Even though I wanted the Kindle, I had no idea it offers a lot of personalization, so again, that is completely neutral for me.

I also checked out the Libre Pro, and yes there are so many buttons! I'd be lost in no time trying to figure it out.

Pocketbook devices don't have the new Pearl screen, but they do read many formats, including PDF and epub, and there are touchscreen versions of their new models (you have to use a stylus, however).
I checked out the Pocketbook, and I really liked most of them, especially one of the Pocketbook Pro models, but they're quite out of my price limit =(

However, I asked my friend about the Kindle and she actually ordered it from the UAE too and knows a few websites that offer free e-Books for it.

I'm definitely leaning most towards the Kindle now, but I'd still like to wait it out and look around for more e-Readers.

Thank you both for your help =)
