My first reader was a Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight. I loved that thing and probably wouldn't have replaced it if I didn't manage to break the substrate.

But I did. When it happened, B&N replaced the STwG with the subpar Nook Glowlight (in my opinion, the worst Nook), so I bought the original 6" Kobo Aura instead. The screen wasn't the best (it was an early flush screen), but the software was SO much better.

The 2015 Nook Glowlight Plus came out and was a beautiful piece of hardware, so I bought that.

The Kobo Clara came out, so I bought that and love the orange lighting. I gave my Aura to a family member and was eventually gifted a replacement Nook STwG by the ereader catlady himself (which I very much appreciate) and I kind of bounce between all three readers: Clara, Plus and STwG

I also had a Glowlight 3 (now donated) and Clara 2E in the house, but those aren't mine.

I've recently been given a Paperwhite 3, my first Kindle. I don't really like it, but I read on it from time to time to give it a fair shake.

In my opinion, readers have been 'good enough' since that Nook STwG (they needed a lighted screen and the earlier lighted Sony didn't do it well). The screens have gotten better. Waterproofing and orange light are great and different readers have different features I like. But when it comes down to their basic purpose, any of the ereaders would make me happy if it was the only one I had.
