I don't know where you live, but I believe Kobo was selling refurbished Kobo Touches and Glos here in Canada for $50 and $80 respectively. Also Xmas is just around the corner, there may be some good sales then.

My wife and I love our Kobo Touches (Although I have had some problems with mine, and needed to get a replacement). If I were buying a new ereader, I definitely would get one with a light.

Right now we are using clip on lights we bought at Costco with rechargeable batteries. They seem to do the job fairly well. But then again you have to buy the light (and be lucky you find a good one. I've had some that are too weak.), buy rechargeable batteries and a charger - so economically that's probably not advantageous.

Last thing, although I love reading on an ereader, I don't think reading on an ereader is cheaper than reading paperback books. If cost is an issue, then maybe you should consider paperback books. Especially given that you can get them second hand.
