If I could find an ereader as you suggest, but with the hardware quality of the mainstream ereaders and firmware stability, then I would certainly buy one. I have read reviews of all the new devices from many manufacturers over the past 9 months without finding a suitable one.

Some interesting stuff on this thread about the limitations of the PW using collections and even the clock(!). Normally this is drowned out by the fan-boys & girls shouting. One may not criticize the Kindle.
I recommend you try the Nook ST if you can get one cheap. It is very stable rooted and you just do what you want with it, no limits. I'd have a hard time going back to a non-Android (rooted) device now. Sadly it has no light. Wifi is dead handy on it because you can put books on it via Dropbox and coolreader is an excellent reading app.
It seems now that it is possible to run Linux on a Kobo, so that would interesting, though I wonder if it would work as well as Android as Android is designed to be light-weight to work on portable devices. Still, it's better than being stuck in the base firmware.
The big downer for me with the Kobo glo is that the minimum setting on the Glo is too bright. That's a show-stopper right there, though night-vision mode might help a lot.
