Buying my first ereader, India.
It seems many of the ereaders are more expensive than in other countries. I want a first-class ereader under 6000 rupees. I'm confused because for that price it seems I can get an overpriced nook simple touch or a kindle basic without touch. The kobo glo seems decently priced but I saw in a video review that it was very slow, when you changed fonts or sizes, it took so long to refresh, so I'm not sure. I would like physical scroll buttons. I'm also confused as to how I would use these, although Amazon has a big presence in India through it's online shop, I've never heard of Barnes&Nobles or Kobo in India, so I do not know if it would be easy to get books. One thing I would like if there was a quality Android-based ereader that I could just use a Kindle app to read which worked well. I definitely want e-Ink though. I don't mind going with a Sony or Pocketbook or Onyx if they are better and without software bugs (I've read of a device getting stuck, etc). But I need it to be available in India for an affordable price. Ideally, I would have liked a Paperwhite but the cost is too overpriced here, so no go. Thanks for any advice.
