But only one of my eReaders (see sig) has a higher resolution -- the Glo -- and I get along fine with all of them.

I quite liked the shape of my Nook ST but it didn't matter much since I've put it in a cover. My Aura HD has unpleasantly sharp edges, but, again, I don't use it without a cover these days, so.
I might stay with my Simple Touch if it had front light. It's a fine reader otherwise. That said, I don't regret getting the Aura HD. It's not perfect but, beside other things, its much higher resolution provides more comfortable reading without the need for huge-asinus font sizes or interstellar line-spacing

That would be convenient for some people, but I wouldn't bet on any device to have a thorough support for all the possible formats. Maybe it would be more reasonable to expect decent support for a couple of formats and just convert the rest on a desk- or laptop.
Yes, I do use Calibre. Why, what's the matter?
