"Try the Ebookwise1150. It is not expensive and it's very easy on the eyes, also you can have big fonts. "

Over time I've found that not to be true for me - the backlight on the eb-1150 gives me headaches if I read for more than 10 or 15 minutes, just like PDAs do. The eb-1150 also has poor contrast, and getting a brightness/contrast ratio just right is fidgety. I have yet to see a display that matched the quality of black ink on white matte paper.

I really, really want to see what eInk is capable of without having to buy and hack a Libre.
