- being able to borrow from my local library
- decent hard drive space
- built in light

I'm looking at one of the Kobo ebook readers specifically the Glo and Auras, both normal and HD versions and of course the Kindle Paperwhite. I like the Kindle ecosystem but only if I can convert purchased epub books to a Kindle-approved format through Calibre.

Can I still backup my ebooks and keep a version of epub on Calibre? So if in the future I decide that I want to purchase an ebook reader that's not a Kindle I can still do so and transfer my ebooks over?
Yes and I advise you to back them up anyway no matter what device you get. See here for more details: http://apprenticealf.wordpress.com
