Kobo Glo or something else?
A friend has an old e-reader without a light, and wants an inexpensive one with light. They would buy used. They don't care what brand or store it connects to because of side-loading.

I'm thinking of recommending the Kobo Glo (the Glo HD is too expensive). Is there another e-reader I should recommend instead? (Or I can always recommend two and they can find a comparison video, but I don't know which other is best.)

Thanks

You can snag a Kobo Aura off of eBay for $50. I've bought one and so have a couple of other users on this board.

I second the suggestion by ZodWollop. I bought a couple of those for myself and one for a neighbor. They're like new. They came in the box. I suspect they are new. Maybe display models or maybe returns. All three have been perfect.
