I have used a Kobo Glo' for 2 years and I'm getting to the point where the battery is on its last knees (I need to charge it every night).

I will be looking into buying another device pretty soon.

I am not keen on buying another e-ink device because the screen's lack of contrast hurts my eyes. This gets really painful when I try to read more than an hour or so... a problem I have never encountered with computer screens.

Another problem with buying another e-reader: when you live in the U.S. the only option is the Amazon Kindle series.. And they don't support the epub format.

Library management already takes up enough of my time and I see no reason for adding in conversions of epub's to the kindle format.

I would be grateful for any advice from folks who have given up on e-readers and have had a better experience with other devices.

Main requirements:

- LCD screen
- Quality e-reading software
- Decent dictionaries!
- Capable processor (a major problem with e-readers)
- Minimum 16GB storage
- Reasonably light..
- 200 ppi screen or better
- Price range: $200.00-$300.00

For reasons I will not go into I am not interested in Apple or Microsoft products.

Thanks,

CJ
