Apparently I missed the trade in by a week (d'oh) but word is they will do it again in the next month or so.

My ereader history: Had one of the first Nook colors. Rooted it but honestly just used it for reading. Sometimes used it to look stuff up but not often. When that nook color started not charging well ended up getting a Nook tablet (same size) for xmas as a replacement. Again, use to read, I use iphone for games or internet browsing. I like to read at night so I like the backlit screen, although it's a pain when I read outside that it's not eink. Hated how the kindle and nook simple would have that "delay" when turning pages on eink.

Which would you suggest for my next one? I want something lighter than what I have, and like the idea of being able to read easier outside and to have light to read in bed. BUT, the idea of paying $100 for 2 yr old technology vs waiting for another trade in and getting the Samsung Nook for $100 seems crazy. I still actually have my original nook color to trade in.

I do not want to switch to a kindle since all my books are in epub format. most are purchased without DRM although a fair number are via Nook and still have DRM attached.
