hi,

I'm looking to buy an e-reader (my first one) but I'm having trouble choosing which one to buy. I'm looking for one with epub so I can easily download ebooks from most websites and libraries. I also would like a light and definitely e ink. I would prefer an ebook that reads and possibly allows notes to be added to microsoft word documents but it doesn't look like most e-readers offer this.

I've been considering nook glowlight and kobo glo. I really like kobo glo because of all the formats it offers. I've looked into sony but I live in the US and they don't seem to be sold here anymore.

I was going to buy a kobo glo but then I read online that the kobo glo sometimes starts freezing after 6 months. After researching more about e-book reliability I found that some e-books typically don't last longer than a couple of years. Now on the top of my list is an ebook that is reliable and will last for multiple years. Most of the e-reader reviews I've found online don't comment on the long-term longevity and reliability of e-readers so I wanted to find out what you guys think.

Does anyone have an e-reader they can suggest that will last me for a long time, has epub and maybe a light and the ability to read microsoft word? I don't care about any extra features, or touchscreen or anything. What's most important to me is a reliable e-reader with epub.

thanks!
