I am looking for a ereader device that has a backlight, a zoom feature, the Kobo Glo has one that is really nice, has to be in E-Ink only, and supports the 64GB Micro-SD. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I intend to use this for manga, comics, PDFs, and books. I know a higher resolution is more recommended but I like the resolution my current device has, somewhere around there seems to be perfect. Basically I am looking for an E-reader that has all the same features of the Kobo Glo but is more advanced in terms of what it can support file size wise.
Have you looked into the Kobo Aura HD? It is slightly bigger and has higher resolution but software-wise, I assume it's going to be similar to the Kobo Glo, it's frontlit and has a microSD card slot. I don't believe it supports NTFS and I'm not so sure about 64GB support, though. I misplaced my Kobo but I seem to recall my 64GB card not working when I tried to use it. Now, I'm not sure if it's because of the file system used (exFAT since one of my Android tablets can't recognize 64GB cards formatted as FAT32 or NTFS) or because it just can't support that capacity. In any case, it's not difficult to carry a couple 32GB microSD cards. Granted losing them might be an issue.
