One that I know of is the 6" model from Bookeen:

It has physical buttons, a touchscreen and it is front-lit. I'm kind of tempted, but haven't dug for reviews yet.

Edit: Not a single one on eBay (Germany), though accessories are offered. In Germany, I found only one vendor who sells it, and that is the bookstore tied to it (Thalia, which I never heard of, but that doesn't say much). Costs as much as the Glo, and I'm not sure if I really need another device, though physical page-turn buttons would be lovely to have. Still, weird that there are none on eBay.
