I would like to buy Reader which would allow me not only to buy via its internet shop (or however it works - if you could explain I would be happy) but also import books from all possible known formats (like .pdf, .pages, .doc etc.). What's more It ought to be just E-Book Reader, not a tablet - as I told i have an iPad. The simpliest thing to read books. What else... I have seen one guy with Reader which screen looked like the text was written on paper, not on device. Is ir standard of all Readers? If not I would my future bought to have something like this.
At the end I can say I was thinking on buying a Kindle Fire 5 - what do you think about it? Does it connect with Mac OS X? Has it things I wrote above?
Looking for your answers
I have a Kobo Glo and love it (the light function is extremely useful), but reading PDF's on it doesn't work for me. A friend has a Sony PRS-T1 and the PDF reflows just as an epub would, which is a lot better than how it works on the Kobo for me.

Of course, I still prefer the Kobo Glo (because of the light) and just decided not to download any pdf's (or if I really need them, I use Calibre to transform them to epubs).
