I used a cybook odyssey for more than 10 years, so I guess bookeen devices can be a good choice. I'm currently using a refurbrished tolino vision 2 and the experience is also much better than the kindles I tried.

But if I had more money, I would probably have bought a device from boox. They make nice ereaders, some even with android,being much more flexible than a kindle. Devices from bigme and the meebooks also look nice, but I don't know if they have good cases.

I'm sure there are other good options around. These are just the ones I know.

I have an android based ereader and honestly I would buy a cheaper non android one if I had to replace it. I never really use any app besides the reader app and the battery only lasts a few days max. Non android ones last way longer because they have no stuff running in the background. Edit: not a kindle though I'm comparing it to a Tolino / kobo
