As long as it lets me read the epubs on my sd card, and has a front-light, I'll be happy.
I did send an offer of $25 for the Tolino - if it's accepted, I won't be crying if it gets dropped in a lake or left behind in a cafe or coffee house. I rarely do any customization, so that really isn't a factor.
There are several new and/or refurbished Kobo Aura's on eBay in the $50-60 range. And one or two Pocketbook Basic 3's in the $80 range.

I am not sure how important " updates " really are, also.
when was the last time a reader firmware update actually added a new feature that you really really needed ?
a 10 year old kindle that has never been allowed online to update will still present a decent reading experience .
What about ( shockl horror) investing in 2 SD cards. a large one that will also store audio, and a smaller one that still can hold all your books.
how many Gb of books do you plan to ever own?

I see your point about 'updates' - it's usually the website or PC OS that causes problems. I'm definitely NOT a waterbaby, and much prefer the card slot - but apparently, I'm in the minority!
