I want something with
- backlight
- physical button

I've been looking at Nook Simpletouch Glowlight, anything better? Price is not a concern.

Do you really mean a backlight, or a front-light? Do you want e-ink or a tablet? Any tablet is back-lit. E-ink is sometimes front-lit, like the Kindle Paperwhite, which does not have physical buttons. Most ereaders these days, except the Kindle Basic, are touch screen, and thus do not have physical buttons.

It can also be a tablet, with light and buttons.

PocketBook 623 Touch Lux.

Or even better, its successor, PocketBook 626 Touch Lux 2.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the Nook Simple Touch Glowlight, but new ones might be hard to find. I like my Kindle Touch (which has a similar functionality to the newer Paperwhites), even though it doesn't have physical keys. Amazon is winning out in the long run because of its infrastructure. I find myself using "Send to Kindle" quite a lot.

the first units had firmware that was less than optimal. I would want to wait a bit until it matures a bit.
626 is also missing the headphone socket, so it doesn't have the TTS (text to speech).

Just curious ... if you live in the U.S. is their any "official" way of buying a Pocketbook eReader now? I'm guessing not, but I was wondering if there were any dealers (importers) who still sold these?
