Apart from these it's a great e-reader.

Then after 5.12 battery drain suddenly became a thing, then they put ads on it, then I bricked it.

I'm looking for an e-reader (can be used) that I can get very cheap (cheaper than a Kindle) that I can read PDFs and ePubs on (can be with hacks, doesn't matter).

If it has night light it's even better, I read a lot at night and the PW3 light is harsh on my eyes.

Does such e reader exist? I don't care about highlighting or dictionaries, or bad touch screen, etc.
Any cheap Reader is going to do a terrible job with PDF. The screen will be way too small. A PW3 size screen (6") is way too small for PDF.
