What do you think? Are there better alternatives for a price ~80/100€?

A Pocketbook reader might be a good choice. If you don't need a touch screen, the Basic Lux 2 at 88€ from Amazon Italy would work. Amazon also has the Basic 4 for about 81€, but that one has no built-in light. Or, for more you can get the Touch Lux 5 for 133€. This has touch and front light, plus the "warm" screen feature (like the Kobo Clara). But these PocketBooks are 212ppi instead of 300ppi (like the Clara). TechInn will ship to Italy but, I'm guessing, after adding in shipping and customs it would be more expensive (their price is 112€ for the Touch Lux 5). At the TL5's cost of 133€ the Clara would probably be a better deal, especially if there is going to be "black friday" sale.

The Kobo has more features. But for reading only, I like the simplicity of the Pocketbooks. Also the ability to buy (or borrow) ePubs from anywhere with ADE built-in on the device is a huge plus for me (I use Linux, so ADE is not available on my computer).
