I could never go back to a reader without built in front light, but that's just me.

I picked up the Cybook Odyssey HD FL a couple months back and I think it's a solid device. I had two minor issues with it: The bezel is larger than the Kobo Glo's, and the physical buttons are designed in a way that causes them to work best if you press them from the device's front. This isn't an issue if you read while seated or standing, but if you lay on your back and hold the device in one hand, it becomes a problem. Other than that, it's very comparable to the other 6" readers and feels less cheap than the Glo.

The Pyrrus mini has buttons too, and I really like that device (only 4.3", so it may be too small for you). If it had a front light, I would use it more frequently.

Thalia.de sells the Odyssey, but I don't know if they ship to destinations outside of Germany or the EU.
