Hello everyone!

I've started reading books again and decided that I need an E-Book Reader. I'm probably going to be a simple user, as for web browsing and work I have a laptop. This reader would be dedicated only for reading books. I'm mostly interested in a reader that could handle PDF's (not main priority) and read Kindle or ePub books. As I find most of the books I want to read both on Amazon and Kobo so it's not necessary to support both formats. Another crucial feature I need is English-English vocabulary, so that it would be easy to see the definition of the word. I also prefer to have a warmer back-light (no blue). My budget is up to 250eur, but If my needs can be satisfied with an old 60eur reader, then I'm good with it. Portability is not a priority, as I'm planning to read at home mostly, so maybe a bigger screen is better?

I'm aware of most of the offerings, but looking at Onyx Boox Nova, Kobo Aura One, Pocketbook Inkpad 3, Likebook Mars as premium offerings. Based on the Reviews I see that Onyx Boox Nova is the best choice, but it's really pricey. Are there better options? For instance, I can buy new Paperwhite 3 for 105 eur, would that be enough as I don't need many functions, or spending twice for Nova is worth it?
