I was thinking about buying a ereader with built in lighting sometime in the near future, but I don't know which I should buy. It seems like there are so many options available, that it makes it a little difficult to see which is the best. The ereaders with lighting that I am most familiar with are the Paperwhite, the Kobo Glo, the Kobo Aura HD, the Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight, and the Nook Glowlight, but I don't know if there are any others out there that are worth considering. I also do not know, among the ones I have listed, which would be considered by
most people as "the best." By which I mean a good, solid ereader that is intuitive to use, and provides a lot of features for the price. What I am looking for in an ereader is fairly simple, but a few features are very important.
Number one is:
Customisability. I'm fairly picky about things like fonts and line spacing, so there has to be at least a few options for me to tweak it to what suits me personally.
Numer two:
It has to have room for "sideloaded" ebooks. I have a fairly large collection of epub and mobi ebooks, and I don't want to have to be limited to a specific stores' ebooks, instead of being able to load my own. I need it to have at least enough room for around 500 ebooks, but preferebly more.
Number Three:
The price should be under $200. I am willing to go up to that if the ereader is very good, but generally I'd like to keep it $150 or lower.
Things that I don't care about are whether it has a touch screen, or page turn buttons. I don't care if it has wifi, or what is the color of the casing. I also do not care what format it uses, as all of my ebooks are DRM free, and I can easily convert them to another format with Calibre.
Thanks for reading through my long message, and thanks in advance to anyone who replies.
