The Kindle and Kindle Voyage are out because you cannot jailbreak them. The PW2 is a crap shoot as you won't know what version frimware you'll get before you buy. You could get a jailbreakable firmware or you could get a 5.6.x version and not be able to jailbreak.

The Kobo Readers are very good. They allows you to use Calibre (using the Kobo Utilities plugin) to create collections. So once the plugin is configured, creating collections on a Kobo is trivial.

As for the light, it's a frontlight.
