I have been using a JBL for a year now and I love its simplicity. I store all my books on an SD card and I manage the books using Windows Explorer. The directory structure is very simple - Books\Author. I do not have to use any complicated software, not even Calibre, to manage my library! But, I would like to get an e-reader with an e-ink screen. So, the question I have is "Is there an e-reader as simple as JBL but with an e-ink Pearl screen?" No Kindles please as my books are either .txt or .epub. And it must have an SD card slot. What I would want to do is simply take out the SD card from my JBL and put it into the new e-reader and it works! Is there such a reader or am I asking for too much? I had hopes for the new Sony e-reader but I don't think it fits the bill. Appreciate any advice you may have. Thanks!
