I'm curious about what is actually happening, but that's probably a thread for the Kobo forum.

Anyway I need a new ereader and was wonder what I can do. I don't want a Kindle because I have a massive book (and some of the files are really big) collection
How "massive" is the collection?

What format books are you talking about? "Really big" usually means comics. It;s agoo idea to mention what formats you are using as that does affect what the best device is.

and I honestly hate the Kobo because of how glitchy the software is.
Again, more a topic for the Kobo forum, but some of what people call glitches or bug are actually design decisions for the manufacturer. Knowing what your problems are can help eliminate alternative devices.

Is there another option out there for me? I do want to be able to to keep my collection with me wherever I go since that was the main draw of an ereader.
Eink is a must becasue I spend hours reading and a tablet is really hard on my poor eyes.
I live in Canada so the Nook isn't an option.
As has been suggested, you are pretty much down to the Android e-ink devices. You could also try Koreader or Coolreader on a Kobo. Either will get you away from the Kobo interface.
