As someone mentioned you could get a Paperwhite and convert your books to work on it and get books from Amazon and other sources. Personally I think that's the better option. Converting is fairly trivial. I think you said you had 500 books. It'll convert them for you in bulk and you can let that run overnight and you'll have them ready for the Kindle in the morning. I've never done that many at once but bulk converting 5 or 6 books takes a couple of minutes and requires no attention till it's done.

Well, I say that's the better option but even better might be to see if you can iron out your issues with Kobo. Or buy books from Amazon and convert them to read on your Kobo.

I will look into the Nook Glowlight. Thanks for the suggestion. Yes I understand that I can convert books would still like to hear my options. Never know when a device that perfectly fits your needs will show up.
