Hi,

I have never had an ebook reader but I am toying around the idea of getting one. I would be downloading ebooks and cbz comics/manga. I doubt I would actually buy the books from a store like Amazon but if I can, so be it. I am just not sure what the differences are between all of these versions. I get that a kindle paperwhite is "easy to read" but past that I am lost.

What is the difference between basic kindles or the paperwhite v3 and v4...why would I choose that over the kobo or just some random cheapo reader. I guess I don't know what questions I need to ask.

What I want:

- 6-8 inch
- I would like expandable storage or just high capacity (I am not actually sure how much space I need as I never used one and can't gauge)
- Handles manga well
- Can be jailbroken
- Prefer some easy to way to wireless transfer files to the reader
- E-ink only, no tablets. I feel like I'd get too distracted from reading.
