Umm basically sites mentioned here -

5 inch would work too but right now want to focus on 6''

Yeah after lurking around the kobo forum for a while, I feel that I can live with the bugs.


How about these ?-

Kindle first gen Seller refurbished
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazon-Kindl...1c775#viTabs_0

N647 Used
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kobo-eReader...item53f4aba6e8

PRS-500 Used
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-Portabl...item4d096c7e65

Kindle 2nd gen Used
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazon-Kindl...item2a29a17abd



But the best deals IMO are-

Kindle keyboard Used

Kindle Keyboard Demo Used
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazon-Kindl...item27cec51d00

Kindle touch Used

You can buy a replacement battery for the first gen Kindle. But if not being able to read KF8 is a deal breaker, don't look at it any further.

The Kobo is buggy.

The PRS-500 you won't like as it's very old and slow and has a screen that's not all that good plus the battery could be shot. Also, it's fairly heavy.

The 2nd Gen Kindle is broken.

The Kindle Keyboard has a defect on the screen. Look at the upper right of the picture. Also, it's blacklisted and you don't want to get one that's blacklisted.

The Demo Kindle Keyboard is out. You do not want a demo Kindle as it's not fully functional.

Thee Kindle Touch could be OK.
