The long discontinued 13" Sony DPT-S1 is surprisingly light and comfortable to hold and might be available second hand. Only 150 DPI and no frontlight and PDF only, but it does have a microSD expansion slot. For most text on a 13" screen 150 DPI is adequate. Higher would be nice, but is not necessary unless there is a lot of fine print.

The 207 DPI 13" Onyx Boox Max Lumi is heavy but makes up for it by being blurry enough to look considerably worse than the SONY. It has a frontlight but that just makes the display look even worse and I am not able to read with it in a dim or dark room. The Max Lumi II is reportedly blurrier still (having to do with a layer intended to improve writing experience).
