What are you reading on Thursday

Tell me about your e-readers, please!

I think that it is time that I took another step into the digital age and got myself an e-reader/similar. When I bought my phone I decided to buy a small rather than large one so that I would actually carry it with me, and that worked, but it does mean that the screen it smaller than is desirable for reading something long on. I don't expect that I'll buy lots of ebooks, but at the moment I'm sometimes not reading stuff because I'd have to read it on my computer/print it out. And I'm sure I will buy some things on top of catching up with Trollope, long fanfic, and the library. Maybe I'll finally read War and Peace on holiday.

So... Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Sony? What't good? What's annoying? At the moment I'm thinking an ebook for ease on the eyes rather than a tablet, but do feel free to make the case for a tablet.

I note that the Paperwhite has half as much storage as the bog-standard Amazon cheapo. The Nook one has a surprisingly amount of space for non-Nook content, too. What is wrong, I ask, with doing the basics well? That's what I want! Not sure if I want a light or not - I ask myself when I actually read in low light. I will have to pull my jumper over my head in the shop to try. And get arrested.

I don't (at present) read a lot of PDFs. The option would be handy for the odd thing at work, but I am not of the knitting brigade.
