I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

I'd recommend everyone to buy a Kobo over these, it's much easier to read your own .pdf and .epub files than on a Kindle.

Thanks for this. Was in the market for an e-reader and didn't really feel like jumping through Amazon bullshit

Kobo is the way.

How's their store? I'm kind of ashamed at how often I'll finish a book and then instantly buy and start another, but I also love being able to do that.
