I'm not a collector, I buy and sell devices as it suits my needs. Since I bought my first e-reader, I've gone through 14 devices, of which I've kept 4. All the new ones were bought as an upgrade (frontlit, higher resolution, more lightweight, smartlight) or to test a new type of reader with another reading system.
Currently I own the following:
- a Kindle Paperwhite 2 to be connected to the Amazon universe
- a Kobo Glo HD which I snapped up as a bargain before they went out of stock and which I like due to Pocket integration and patchability
- a Pocketbook Ultra which I mostly read on when commuting as it is really lightweight
- a Pocketbook InkPad 3 which I love because of the large 7,8" screen and the smartlight (I read on it in the evening and in bed)
I'm really happy with my current configuration and I don't want to buy any additional device at the moment as this would mean more time to manage the devices. I can imagine getting a 6" device with a smartlight in the future. If there is one which is as light and/or as easy to hold as the PB Ultra, I'd sell that one and take the new one with me while travelling.
