kobo's book prices aren't that bad. up here in canada, they're comparable to google play books. sometimes, a book will be available at kobo that isn't available from google. sometimes, the pricing will be much lower at one site than the other. i recently bought a 3-book-bundle at kobo that was $5 (ok, that was a sale price, but still...), but at google it was not available and buying individually would have cost around $36.
if you only read 2hrs a day and rarely read on a raft with no power in the middle of the atlantic, why not consider a tablet? several have microSD slots and all are bookstore-neutral so you can buy (and sync) from anywhere in addition to sideloads.
sure, eink looks way more like plain paper, but it's kind of "old tech" and limited in size. i have both, though, so i'm not at all against eink. i just grab whichever device i prefer on any given day. 90% of the time at home it's the 10" tablet, though...
