I started out with a Kindle 2. I loved it - it was white, had a physical keyboard and nice page turn buttons. The reason I later switched to a PW3 was because I wanted a touch screen to be able to quicker look up words and because my K2 didn't support other non-latin scripts.
I would probably have stayed on the PW3 had I not found the dictionaries lacking for certain languages. And after hearing about Android powered readers I ordered one and was delighted to find out that I could basically find dictionaries for any language I wanted using 3rd party apps.
Then I heard that Hisense had e-ink phones. I had always dreamed about having an e-ink phone, so I bought one - the A5 Pro. I used it as my main phone until the A9 came out; I bought it and switched to using that as my main phone. Portable reading, music and podcasts with me everywhere! And phone functionality should I need it.
I also bought a Libra 2 and a Kindle Voyage since one of the problems with modern e-ink devices is screen clarity and contrast. And lack of page turn buttons. I heard many good things about those two and I wanted to try them out. Great devices - I just wish they would have equally good Android alternatives. Well, the Leaf 2 came out and I bought that as an improved Libra 2 - but the screen turned out to be defective. Waiting for it to be repaired.
I will buy more readers: I want a 10" now that they have 300 PPI. Sometime in the future I'd also love a 13" reader with 300 PPI and possibly colour to read comics on. And please, page turn buttons!
