I don't care what brand it is but it would be nice to have access to my Nook library as I have some books I haven't read yet. Also I don't want to spend alot. When I'm not traveling, I use my Ipad to read.
Thanks.

If you don't mind removing the DRM, then I would suggest either the Kobo Aura H2O or the Kobo Aura One. The H2O has a 6.8" screen and the Aura One has a 7.8" screen. Both devices are waterproof so they'd be good for using at the beach. Both have a front light and both handle ePub.
The reason you need to be able to strip DRM is that eBooks bought from B&N are not readable on any other Reader without the DRM removed. But removing the DRM is very easy. Just look for Apprentice Alf at
