You might want to add the Kobo Glo HD to the list. It's the same size, same 6th generation (basically the same case) as the Touch 2.0 (which, I think, has the same CPU specs) and comes with a front light and a 300 ppi E-Carta screen. I don't know how easy these are to find in Italy. In the U.S. Rakuten is selling them refurbished on eBay.

Unfortunately, it looks like they only ship to the U.S.


Looks like they're also listed on Italy's eBay ...

I should also add ... I have a Mini. I like it fine, but I don't use it with huge books and I don't think it would compare well with your newer eReaders in performance. The original Aura is well-loved by some folks here. It's small, has 212 ppx "flush" screen with capacitive touch (like the Tolino Visions), though I think it's smaller than the Vision. Even though it has a 6" screen, it's not much bigger than the Mini, though about an ounce and a quarter heavier (Mini 134 grams, Aura 174g, Glo HD 180g, Touch 2.0 185g). The original Aura is a 5th generation Kobo.
