I am still waiting to see what B&N will offer for a new Nook Glow model for EPUBs. I just don't know if I have the patience for the Kobo bugs. I also still have my T2, T1 & 350 that should last awhile. I guess I will just keep using those for now.

I feel the same, my first ereader was a 505 I received for my birthday the year it was released and I loved it, I don't use it anymore; it still takes a charge though. I liked how I could order a collection/shelf however I wanted in the old Reader Library software and simply transfer it via USB unlike the Nook ST I received also as a b-day gift the year it came out, lol! Except for the touchscreen I never cared much for the NST, there were too many little quirks about it that I just never liked; I bought myself the Sony T1 a few months later (& the lighted cover soon after when I found it on sale) and relegated the NST to loaning books to my parents. I also switched completely over to using calibre to manage my library not just for conversions.
After yearning for a reader with built in light for a while and despairing of Sony releasing a new one (and not wanting a Kindle for various reasons) I lucked into a nicely priced Aura HD & sleepcover here in the flea market (followed soon after by the new Aura I won on twitter
) and I love 'em both (no bugs for me so far) but if Sony were to come around and give us a Reader with built in light competitively priced I'd be tempted to get it just for the ease of checking out library books.
