Thanks for the help guys. I already have calibre and have been using it for putting my books on my Nook HD+ and my phone so I'm pretty familiar with it. (Still haven't figured out the "virtual library" function though. Glad I have my books organized by series and authors so at least I can find what I'm looking for fast enough)

I looked at the listing for the Pocketbook reader and the price listed seemed too much for me. I think it was $189.99. Yikes. So far, the main 3 look pretty much even down the line of storage space available for side loaded stuff and they all have light up screens for night reading. Now the hard part....

Nook Glowlight Plus 4 GB (2.5GB) $129.99

Kindle Paperwhite 4 GB (2.5GB), $119.99 + $20 for no ads

Kobo Glo HD 4 GB (2.5GB) $129.99

I wish one of my local stores sold the Kobo in store so I could at least try it out. Oh well, may end up just throwing a dart over my shoulder to decide.
