My beloved PRS-950 is not aging as well I as I wish it would. It is depressingly slow (takes 10-15 minutes to boot, and several minutes to open a book), and not quite as stable as it used to be, and no longer has nearly the battery life it used to have.
I am attempting to be pro-active and research replacements before I desperately need them.
The following features are must-haves:
- e-ink screen
- Light weight
- Similar screen size to the PRS-950
- Ability to create collections on the device
- Long battery life
- epub compatible, since my entire library is epub
- Must be able to handle library books from OverDrive
- Must work with Calibre
Things I can live happily without:
- An eBook store attached to the device (like Kindle or Kobo), since I get all my eBooks from independent stores anyway
- WiFi or 3G connectivity. Would be nice, but I have lived without it for years on almost all my eReaders
- Color screen - All I plan to do with this device is read books on it
- Outrageous price tag
