Hey everyone! First post here, hope I made no mistakes.

I have about $120 to spend on an ebook reader.
I know that I'd want an epaper one, obviously.
I DON'T need (or in fact even want) wifi, 3G, internet, etc. I don't intend to make purchases through it, and I'd rather not have to go through some registration process or have to constantly have it online for some reason.
I'll mostly be using the reader by copying files from my PC (from royalty free stuff from archive.org or gutenberg or comics and books I got from humble bundle).
As far as my normal reading habits go, I usual read in sufficient light (in a well lit room, or outdoors, or with a lamp in bed), so I'm not sure if backlight stuff is really necessary for me.

Could someone suggest to me a reader from a reasonably well known company (but not so well known that I'd be mostly paying for the name), of a reasonably large size, where I won't be running into loads of unforseen issues (never used an ereader before).

Thanks!
