Looking for something to replace Nook Simple Touch + Glow Light

Trel · 03-22-2016, 10:59 AM

If I'm going for 100% ideal what I'm looking for is

-Same size
-Touch screen
-Lighted
-Page turn buttons (Both directions on each side or customizable as to which side is which direction of a turn)
-MicroSD slot
-Android Based (and rootable or allows for sideloading apps)
-Available for purchase in the USA

Anything exist that meets that?

(My entire collection is epub)

There's also this one, but it looks like it's no longer available on Amazon:

Neither seem to be available. The first one only has a third party seller.

I'd ideally want the Inkbook Obsidian, but I can't find a place to buy that ships to the US at all. The only place I know of shut down.

(inkbook.eu charges ~$45 to ship to USA on top of ~$165 for the reader)

EDIT: nevermind inkbook.eu IS viable, shipping to the USA removes VAT which almost exactly offsets the shipping.

I have been leaning towards Energy Sistems new ones, and the Energy Reader Pro HD seems to check off all of your requirements:

Their e-reader prices range from about 80-140 USD depending on features
