One of the most worth ereader that I know is the newest Amazon Kindle at $90, though there should be cheaper ereaders out there.

I am based in Sweden. Amazon doesn't ship kindles directly to Sweden unfortunately. And honestly, I really dont want to spend more than 50 USD or something like that. But I realize that will be hard.

If you really need to save money and you don't mind a 6" screen, you can get a Kobo. The Kobo Aura can be had from Walmart. It's pretty basic.

Then there is the Kobo Clara HD with a 300DPI screen and a comfort light.

Of course at 7" and more expensive is the Kobo Libra H2O

Any of the Kobo Readers will be better for you then a Kindle given that you've been reading and have a collection of ePub eBooks.

Yeah, I recommend a Kobo, though I really don't think that there are many ereaders out there below $50 USD. I personally don't know any. The cheapest Kobo is around 130USD, the Kobo Clara HD but I don't even think it ships to Sweden.

Just in case you have not ended up with anything yet, I have a used Pocketbook Touch HD I'll willing to sell for around that price.

I really can't remember, but didn't one have a choice on those old Cybook (Bookeen?) readers for ONLY an epub version or a mobi version?

I would never buy from Bookeen. Remember when those old Cybooks screens just broke. Plus, Bookeen won't sell to the US. And Kobo has better hardware and software.
