Greetings,

I'm looking for an eReader. I have a kobo mini to throw around so I probably don't care so much about portability. I'll be using koreader mostly and some overdrive books. The paperwhite doesn't work with overdrive in Canada which detracts a bit but is not a deal breaker. I care mostly about a good reading experience and a good light. I'm probably not very picky.

In Canada
Factory Refurb - Kobo Aura HD - ~$125 after shipping and tax
Factory Refurb - Kobo Glo - ~$90.5 after shipping and tax
New Kobo Aura - 147.00 after tax
Kindle Paperwhite - 158.00 after tax

The refurbs are from the Kobo store.

I'm leaning towards the Kobo Aura HD even though it's older. Sounds like the best deal to me. I could probably get a used Kobo Glo for ~$80.

Thoughts? Is there something better, the new H20 is too expensive.
