I've owned a RCA REB1100 for several years now, and I still use it every day. Once I discovered eBooks, I was hooked and I've had this one ever since. To me, the most important qualities are battery life, level of eye strain, and portability. The REB1100 suits all of these perfectly, as I get around 80 hours of use between charges (with backlight at normal level of 20%, I can read for hours without my eyes bothering me, and the unit is compact and yet durable, as it has withstood savage beatings with no ill effects.
I've looked at other reader devices, and I cannot say I like any of them when compared to my REB1100. I highly recommend any avid eBook readers check one of these out, because I cannot be without mine. I believe there are always a few for sale on eBay, and they can be bought for around $200.
