What ereaders do you own, and what would you say is the best one for less than $200?

>What ereaders do you own
Still hanging on to my Sony PRS-T1, it's been solid for the past 4/5 years. Sadly Sony doesn't make consumer ereaders anymore, just high-end stuff, for academia and professionals, which costs a ton of money and are not worth getting for reading books.
>less than $200
Most of them are under $200, if you have that much to spend just buy a Kobo Aura H2O.

I have tons of books as they're really cheap in my country (like, wow, lunch-price for academic books) but I still own a Kindle Paperwhite.

Recommended for travels or express reading needs.

Bump this.

Buy the Paperwhite model, anything less or above is useless (specially Voyage and it's retarded page-press).

Kobo is better

Also avoid torrents from general-purpose sites like TPB or kickass, there are too many files.

Why do you think Kobo (also version) is better?

Yeah, some ebooks are pretty ducked up. The formatting and lack of summary just kills the experience.

Are there any new kindle models with side buttons?

Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to add a touchscreen, fuck that.

I have a kobo glo, it's fine but sometimes the UI fags out, especially when I try to mark the last line on a page. However that's not reason enough to buy a new reader.

Also fuck touch for page flipping. I might get a new reader if there's one that 1) has a SD card slot 2) reads epub 3) has buttons for page flipping 4) is waterproof.

Quoted By:

I have an old kindle, the kind with no keyboard, no touchscreen, no backlight. It was cheap on ebay because the wifi is broken and it's all scratched up (not on the screen.)

I torrent books and load it up with calibre. I charged it once when I bought it and it's still above 50%. I gave it a nice coat with some cheerful oilpaints.

I don't understand why you'd bother with more than this, the point is the words, Best 20 bucks I ever spent by a longshot.

The Voyage touch buttons are horrible, though. I've bought my boyfriend one for this birthday and it seems much more annoying and counterintuitive to handle than the Paperwhite I own.
So, recommendation, get a Paperwhite.

Kindle Paperwhite, not the new one.

It's fucking slow and crashes a lot. Other than that it's okay.

Anyone know if the new one is faster?

I've bought a first generation Paperwhite when it first came out and it's never crashed on me, nor is it very slow.
I only have like 200 books on it, though.

I have less than that, maybe mine is fucked, but it's probably too late to send it back. Also 'it's often slow and crashes every now and then' probably isn't a good enough reason for Amazon to send me a new one.

It's faster and got a touchscreen and some gimmicks. I found the touchscreen especially helpful if you write short notes or highlight stuff.
Apart from that, it's really down to personal choice.
