Device: Sony PRS-T3S
Which reader to buy with some specific wishes

Hey everyone,

I have a question and hope you can help me.

I have a Sony PRS-T1 and honestly I love it! I love the shape, the pink color (though they call it red) and all its features, it fits my needs perfectly! Only thing missing is light! And that is the problem, I would very much like to get a reader who has light!
If Sony would have done it with the PRS-T3 I would have bought that one but they didn't, so I now have to think of buying a different one. I have some expirience with a Kindle BUT there are some things I'm not willing to do without just for light, so here is what I need from a new reader:


- E-Ink display
- Touch-screen
- light
- A good Englisch dictionary

- Easy transfer, preferably without doing anything extra, from my series and tags columns to a collaction on my reader. I know with Kindle you only can do that over a plugin and only with the Not-Touch-Kindle (I think) and it isn't THAT comfortable. With Sony I don't have to do anything extra. It automaticly makes different collactions from my series and tags columns. I need these collactions on my reader because I'm reading a lot of fanfiction and have ALL of it on my reader. It helps me find my stuff more easy. Like when I want to read a Sherlock fanfiction I only have to go to my Sherlock collection on my reader and can scroll through ALL Sherlock stories there.

- Showing the cover of my book I'm reading on the display when off. I create my own fanfiction covers for my library (mybe some of you know my work) and I want them to see. Kindle has its own covers they show and that I don't like!

-The new Sony has a function I would like too. It shows not only the book you reading right now, it shows the last four. that would help me very much too because I sometimes switch from a normal book, to fanfiction or my own fanfiction I'm trying to write. On my Sony I can do that only over a little detour over the new added books (there I can see the last three) but as soon as I add new fanfction that is gone or I have to add what I want to see there again.

- If it would show the length of the books or fanfiction too in the overview bookshelf, that would be a big plus too. I see the title and the author but if it would show the words or pages too that would be greate. I normally go over a catalog I created for my fanfiction with my specific needs, which displays the number of words, status (complete or in-procress), read or not read, genre, slash or non slash, characters, community etc. ... in other words everything that is important for me but sometimes I whish I just could scroll through the titles in a collection and pick one that catch my eye but without knowing its length I don't like that.


That is what I'm looking for. Is there a reader that can do ALL that or most of that and has light? Or do I have to wait for the next new Sony reader that hopefully has light?

Any ideas?
