I live in the US, where there is an unfortunate dearth of alternatives. For the past year or so I've been using variations on the Kobo touch/glo/mini, which I absolutely loved. Unfortunately, the screen broke, and I went back to using my nook. Which I dislike. The nook's 'collections' are agonizing compared to what I've become used to and its interface with calibre isn't anything to write home about, either.

Since I bought my Kobo-Touch, though, other options have come on the market, and I was wondering if any of them would be worth pursuing? I have a few needs:

Either sd/micro-sd compatibility or 500+ mb of onboard storage

Collections/shelves at least as pleasant to handle as Kobo

Community/developer supported integration with Calibre that's at least as pleasant as Kobo.

A built-in light is nice, but optional.
