I thought that your Cloeey’s Marriage video was cool. It had more scenes and characters than mine did.

Hi Maddy, first of all no point in getting 3G Kindle now as they limit what web sites you can access (only Amazon store and Wikipedia are allowed.) For someone who reads a lot I would only recommend e-Ink eReader, no tablet. The only models I would take into consideration are Nook Simple Touch ($ 99 without ads) from Barnes & Noble and the new Kindle Touch ($ 139 without ads). Ads-supported Kindle models show full page ads to you (and everyone around you) every time they go to sleep mode and also show 2 line ads right there at your home screen – so annoying that Amazon even released a software that for $ 39 can convert ad-supported Kindle into non-ad-supported one. Non-touch screen Kindle models are such basic stone age devices (with page turn lag, buttons, and black blinks/flashes on each page turn) that I would not even speak about them. Nook (unlike Kindle) supports eBooks in ePub format that is the universal format most used in the world. Current e-Ink Nook Simple Touch has the latest generation touch screen display, no page turn lag, it weights less, its battery lasts twice as long (two months on one charge), and it doesn’t blink on each page turn – much better than current Kindle 3 or Kindle Keyboard. Nook Simple Touch is still better designed than even the new Kindle Touch with battery lasting two months with ONE hour reading a day with Wi-Fi off thus it’s still twice as long as new Kindle’s two months with HALF and hour a day with Wi-Fi off. Nook Simple Touch and Nook Color and Tablet (unlike Kindle) have microSD card slot to take a card (class 6 or above) up to 32 GB. If you walk in with the Nook to Barnes & Noble store, you’re allowed to read ANY available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi and get free in-store technical support. Nook already has Cloud as your ebooks are stored in your online library as well as downloaded to your device. You can buy Nook’s at Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Millon, Walmart, BestBuy, Staples, OfficeMax, Fred Mayer, P.C. Richard, Radio Shack, Target, Fry’s, Kmart, Sears etc. stores and web sites.
Per Consumer Reports, CNET, PCWORLD, etc. pro reviews Nook Simple Touch is the best ereader on the market.

None of the current e-ink devices have back lights. Sony developed one model that was back lit, but it was a huge failure because the required changes to the screen made the text blurry. Most people who read their Kindle in the dark buy cases with lights.
As for browsing, keep in mind that the screen is black and white. It’s not really designed for web browsing, it’s designed to display text. If web browsing is critical, look at the Kindle Fire. It has a color LCD screen so it can display video, be used for web surfing, and is backlit.
