I'm having difficulty deciding on the Kindle for a couple of reasons. 1st being, as I see on YouTube, even at low brightness settings, it still looks too damn bright. 2nd, all I want to do is drag n' drop files (EPUB, mostly) onto the thing....not go through some conversion, and/or worry that Amazon may freakin' delete them all w/o my consent! So, I'm leaning towards eliminating the Kindle Paperwhite, or at least, heavily favoring a Kobo.

So, with that said, what's the best bang for buck 6.7" - 7" eReader (NON-Kindle, or MAYBE least aggravating to deal with Kindle) UNDER $120, that I can purchase NOW (or, by Black Friday)? I'm seeing on eBay Kindle Aura's, B&N Nooks, Amazon OASIS..
If you can find a Kobo Libra 2, I suggest that as your choice.
