I have a Kindle Paperwhite. I like it, but I haven't got a chance to use it much lately. It's nice for reading in bed with the lights off because of its backlight. I can turn it down low where it's a gentle glow that doesn't keep me up. Lately, though, I've been doing 99% of my book consumption through audiobooks.

PSA: Studies show that comprehension is lower with e-readers vs. real books. I have no idea why. It might be worth it engineering a personal study to see how it affects reading comprehension in you specifically.

Edit: Wow, that Kobo looks amazing! That blue-light feature is really cool.
