Thank you all for your replies! I think that the best idea would be to buy the Kids version (and I already know a parcel forwarding service, which I've used with no issues), but the Paperwhite 5 doesn't sound as good since I've discovered that the front is made out of plastic, and not glass like the Voyage (my first e-reader). Thus, I'll probably wait for a good deal for a Kobo Libra 2 and hope it won't have numerous issues like my last one.

Talking about the Libra 2, I sold mine in November last year (freezing, crashes in KOReader and Nickel too, strange battery life, etc.). Does any of you know if those problems exist anymore? When I had it, those problems were pretty common as far as I was concerned.

Basically, my biggest problem with my Shine 3 (Clara HD) is its build quality (some creaking when pressing a little hard on it, for example), its back is very slippery (so I use a pop socket that does its job well), and sometimes the sunken screen disturbs me. Still, on my Libra 2, it seemed usable. I'm looking for a pocketable e-reader, as durable as possible (would like to use it caseless), with warm light, open for modifications (not like a kindle) and preferably <€200, so if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears!
