My uncle wants to buy an ebook reader, and he's not too tech savvy. I only have experience with the Kindle Paperwhite. He'd like something with backlight too.

<€100 would be great, and he wants it for Christmas so I'm looking for any info on when discounts happen. I know Amazon.de has semi-regular discounts for the Paperwhite which puts it at €80, and he'd have no problem waiting for that.

I'm mainly asking because of store experiences and book prices. Which way is the most affordable way to get ebooks in Germany? Which stores have the most affordable selections? I found ebook.de and ebooks.de, but my research is stunted because I don't speak German and tbh not knowledgable about the market prices for ebooks. I see tolino advertised on ebook.de

Does Germany have ebook library borrowing, that might only have epubs or mobi books? As I said, not tech savvy, so we're not looking into conversions.

Thanks for any help!
