I have a Glowlight Plus (I paid $50! Jealous of the $26 one) and a Glowlight 3. Both are very nice readers. The Glowlight 3 has a slightly sharper screen due to using IR instead of capacitive touch. It's also got page turn buttons, color changing front light and about double the storage space. No waterproofing though.
Only you can decide if that's worth the price hike.

Not sure if I should consider anything else… Should I consider a Kindle that I jailbreak or similar? I feel I need to just start somewhere and I'll see how it goes… nothing will be perfect

Something you should ask yourself is why would you need to jailbreak the Kindle? Is there some killer feature you need? I'm asking because some Kindles can not be jail broken, so you may be stuck.
If you just want to jailbreak because you like to tinker with stuff, you should check out a Kobo. They are much more hackable.
You know, I've learned that often what you think you want in a reader changes once you have one and know what you like and what you would like changed. I do wonder if you should just snag the cheap Glowlight Plus, mess around with it and then you'll better know what you want on your next reader.
