I have a 1st generation Sony ebook reader and I find that the background is a little too gray, making the contrast between the text and "page" not as good as it could be. I know that the later models have improved this somewhat.

What I am looking for is the device that is the most readable. At 47, I'm finding it more difficult and more tiring to read than I used to.

As for the other features, I don't need anything very complicated, so long as it's very readable. I also want to be able to import my own books to it from a html format, either natively or through an community-made tool. That's a key-feature.

It obviously must support a few fonts, and have the ability to enlarge the text size

Apart from that, I'd like a integrated light, but won't reject an otherwise suitable model because of it's lack.

I'm only interested in reading plain-text novels, so it doesn't have to support anything else.

Any idea where to get started looking?
