I'm in the UK too
. The Sony Reader is the only one you'll find in shops, but there's actually lots of choice. I have a CyBook; there's also machines like the BeBook. All good devices.

but the lack of backlight is a real issue for me. I like to read in bed but my husband can't sleep with the light on. A backlit device means I can carry on reading.

There are numerous "clip on" LED" lights which you can use for that purpose. They work very well.

The other reason I haven't looked further at buying a separate reader is that my iPod is always with me in my purse. An eInk device would be too large to carry around daily (I like to keep my bag small). They'd have to come down in size for them to be really convenient for me.

The 6" devices are about the same size as a paperback book. I take mine everywhere I go, but I do appreciate that it comes down to a matter of personal choice.
