I use Calibre to upload and sort my books.
I don't need to have wi-fi, I'm fine with connecting to my computer with a USB to upload books. I don't need sound or lighting.
So what is a good basic reader; the Kindle, Kobo, or Nook?

Many of us who loved their Sonys got quite happy with a Kobo. When the Sony store closed we were transferred to the Kobo store and getting a Kobo was the logic next step. They feel differently because they are made of plastic, but the software is very nice and they do have a similiar liberary management as the Sonys. They do have collections, you can highlight stuff and search the books and your library easily. I really loved the ones I had after my Sony PRS-650 (an Aura and an Aura One).
You should really get a reader with a comfort light. One doesn't think one needs it until one has had one. Then there is no living without it ever again.
The basic reader you might like is the Aura2, the one with the comfort light would be the Clara HD.
If you can get one, I am sure you'd love the PocketBook Touch HD3. PocketBooks are extremely customizable and offer easy library access. They offer a lot, very nice ereaders, really.
I can't recommed Tolinos. The software is so basic, it makes you wonder how it is able to render a readable text at all.
Their new models are built on Kobo hardware, but the software is atrocious and not worthy of a Sony afficionado at all. You are better off to get an original Kobo.
