I've been reading on my ipad for years, problems are (1) at night even with all the true tone / warm lights etc etc I still feel it sores my eyes even during the day and (2)reading outside with an ipad it's not really great. So, coming from a world where I never held a e-reader before or even saw one up close, I got borrowed a Kindle basic. Oh boy, I'm never going back to the ipad for ePub reading.

These are my reading habits:

• average of 2 hours per day

• of that time, 33% is at home during the day, 33% at home during the night (lights on), 33% is outdoors

• I only read B&W (no comics, etc)

• I travel a lot alone, so that's also a plus

In an ideal world I would have a small one (6") and a big one (>= 7"), but I only have budget for one up to 180€, so I would prefer bigger options and buy a smaller one in the future for travelling, etc.

Options I considered:

Kindle Basic

• Only 6".

• Also, no warm light, even during the day at home, I always found it more pleasant.

• Recessed screen, yes!!!

• However, I do have Kindle Store, and sending ePubs wireless it's also a task of seconds.

Kindle Paperwhite

• 6.8", yesssss

• Flush screen. I've never saw one, but from what I read it introduces some glare and removes that "feel" of a book, which are two things very important to me

• .. but it has warmlight

• However, I do have Kindle Store, and sending ePubs wireless it's also a task of seconds.

Kobo Clara BW

• Back to 6" which is a bummer. But recessed screen.

• More recent technology of screen, 1300 CARTA, so sharper and better blacks than the Kindles

• Warm color though

• No ads and cluttered home page with nonsense

• Supposedly it's less responsive than the Kindle Basic

• Kobo Store is supposedly limited when comparing with Kindle Store

• No wireless sending the ePubs in a convenient way

Kobo Libra Color

• I don't need the added value of the buttons at all, nor the colour capabilities, so it's too expensive.

• Also, I read that the coloured versions, are not as good with B&W (when compared to the exclusive BW ones).

As an additional note I really don't care about waterproofing, wireless charging, or similar fancy functionality.

What would you do in my position? I suppose I'm heading to the Kobo Clara BW but I really don't know, I've never held one or the Paperwhite.
