How 'bout a full blown tablet? I have a Nexus 7 (2013 version) and read on it all the time. In fact that's it primary purpose, plus I get the benefits on everything else it can do.
Amazon is coming out with a kindle voyage in October. It has buttons and 300 dpi. Not sure when it comes out for international. They raised the price to $199 for wifi.... Storage is 4gb.

It addresses one of my biggest concern of the Paperwhite (no buttons to change page).Sadly, it appears you still can't have sub-collections (sub-categories) although I have to make more research on that topic.

What I actually do is to put the Series in the Book title. That works to some degree but there are authors that are quite prolific. Eddings, David > Elenium 01 - Diamond ThroneStill, its kinda funny how they advertise that you can have thousands of books on your reader, but provide no means to organize your digital library.

I guess the expect us to just use the search function to find book. Maybe a firmware update in the near future?
I really like my Kobo reader what did they call it again? Aura or something It has a backlight you can turn on to read in the dark, which I really like, besides that, just a general e-reader. Comes with Kobo-store software, but you can put on your own books as well.It doesn't really have good sorting function I believe, though, or I just haven't found them yet.It does have a touchscreen, but works easily one-handed as long as you don't have to go back, as it reacts to a press, you don't need to swipe.
Question:Do e readers have 3M reader app? Mostly I check out books from the public library, but I need 3M's app to do it.
I'm still using my 5" BeBook. Still going strong after 5 years and I don't see myself changing that any time soon. It hits all the points I'd like in an eBook reader. eInk, expandable storage (SD and Micro SD cards + internal sotrage), can read anything form a word document, HTML, PDF, ePub and anything you throw at it and can play MP3s too (although I haven't used it much for that, if ever). NO wifi, NO camera, No 3G, NO touch screen, NO unneeded extras that only drain your battery. Can get several thousand page turns on it without recharging. I may be weird but I prefer my eBook to just be an eBook, not a tablet. I have other devices if I want to browse the internet and I can download the books an transfer them to it via PC or phone if necessary.
Had not even heard of pocketbook. I think I'd still go for the voyage. 300 dpi vs 212 dpi. The camera scan on the pocketbook is a pretty neat feature though. I wonder if it works well. I can borrow Ebooks from my local library and read it on the kindle... Not sure if it would support the pocketbook. What is the price difference?
I would like an eBook reader too. I read in my tablet now (LG V500) but I use it for many things and have to recharge mid-day (sometimes twice). Reading in a separate device adds complexity but saves battery life from the tablet.Here's what is available in my country: http://www.skroutz.gr/c/992/ebook-readers.htmlI want a nice screen and long battery life. It should read txt, pdf, cbr, cbz, djvu, doc and docxI have a great collection of these and don't really buy new best sellers and stuff. I mostly read about science, nature and classic literature. So I almost never needed epub.It should be light, thin and self illuminated, to read while my wife is asleep. Which one would you recommend?
Problem is more the other way round. Kindle is way inferior to other devices, when it comes to document type support. And according to the Kindle Voyage page still doesn't support epub / epub (DRM) THE most common document format (and what the Swiss Library uses).
Whoa it's a lot smaller than the kindle. That's cool!
