So it happened, my h20 was in a case in my backpack but a guy at work through his helmet and backpack on top of mine and my screen is dead. I need to replace it on the cheap with a used device and to be honest right now £40 is my max range. Too many bills and too little money at the moment.

My first thought was to order a replacement screen from aliexpress for around £32. But then there is the dreaded wait.

There is a nook touch on cex at the moment for cheap, I know nothing about them though how are they compared to kobo as far as software? I happen to be addicted to that stupid earning little award stickers.

There is a kindle paperwhite 1st gen at cex for £38, I hate everything kindle but could live with it if I am convinced it's good?

And last there is a kobo n905 for £20 and kobo n647 £15

I don't care about book format I can convert them. Back-light is only a small plus, big plus is downloading from say Dropbox. I know I'm not listing top of the line items, but really I don't need them I read happily on a dell axiom for years.
