But I do know that the screen is the most important thing for me. Even lighting and crisp text. But it always amazes me that almost no one in review videos comments on this...
The Nook Glowlight 3 has a fantastic, recessed screen with crisp text. It uses IR instead of capacitive touch, so it is a tad sharper than the competition and has very even lighting. Per your description, that would be the best reader for you.

But, the Glowlight 3 can be notoriously glitchy and problematic. It's a nice piece of hardware, but I'd honestly hesitate to recommend it as a reader.

So the screen might be important, but be careful about focusing too much on its importance. There's a lot to be said for nice stable firmware with options you care about.
