Best e-reader?

Last time I checked it was a battle between Paperwhite 2 and Kobo Aura HD with Paperwhite kind of edging out kobo in terms of everything besides resolution, but Kindle promised they're gonna release a new generation to beat Aura HD.

I'm looking to buy a good e-reader one of these days - what should I go for? I don't think I want to wait an undefinite amount of months for PW3

e-readers kill the very soul of books, which are meant to smelled, tasted, caressed. I am very glad to know that this fad is dying out.

"Young man, did you do your homework last night?"
"No teacher, I forgot to charge my book."

How ridiculous, yes?

There is nothing "retarded" about showing physical affection for literature. If you truly loved the very act of reading, if you understood the joy that lies within the inhalation of an old tome's ancient perfume, the feeling of a leatherbound novel against the skin of your palms, the taste of aged ink and paper in your mouth, then you would be neither surprised nor angered by mine words.

I guess I better ask this on /g/ then. I forgot people here are still retarded

Where does /lit/ pirate their books?

I'm looking for Listening to Prozac by Peter Kramer.


Also, is the Onyx Boox T68 worth $230? Seems to be the only good e-reader I've seen.

And I just don't want to have to deal with retarded activation like all other e-readers have.

Which network is it a part of?

And having to have your hand held through the activation process seems like something a complete retard would need. I just want something I can use out of the box. Plus it is 1440x1080 so I can read manga on it.
