The Kobo Glo HD is a good choice (IMHO). The battery is rated to last 2 months. But then, it's probably the same sort of reading for 30 min a day with no light. But even still, it will last longer than the PW3 before needing to be charged. Two advantages Kobo has over Amazon is many more font sizes and the ability to side load the fonts of your choice. Plus, with the patches, you can set the font sizes as you want and enable the advanced font control so you can increase or decrease the font weight as you see fit It works with most TTF fonts. So for eyes that need something other than you can get from a Kindle, you can get what you want/need.

I have seen/used a PW3 and the screen is good. But it is the same settings as you got with your PW2.
