Unhappy Sad without my ebook in Canada

Hi everyone. I joined quite a while back and have been lurking ever since. I joined mainly to get the lowdown on the different ereaders and eventually bought myself a Cybook. I loved the size of it, the money I saved buying ebooks vs paperbacks/hardcovers and the convenience of being able to just pop it in my purse and take it anywhere.

Sadly, I had to get rid of it because the page-turning button was so stiff and hard to use that I ended up with a lot of thumb/wrist pain. I tried making the type as small as possible so I wouldn't have to turn pages as often and I tried alternating between my right and left hand (which just gave me pain in both hands), to no avail. I would love to get another ereader, with a more ergonomic design, but I haven't seen one that appears very user-friendly. I am a voracious reader and really miss the Cybook. If anyone here has any suggestions as to what make/model to try next, I'd love to hear them.
