Recommend me some good e-ink (ebook) reader.

Have you even try to search for it yourself?

Sure. I'd be happy to hear lainons' opinion. Do you have an ebook reader? Are you happy with it?

I considered an e-ink reader but then decided a tablet was much better. Especially for comics.

You might want to check Barnes and Noble for one.

I'll buy a Pocketbook Basic 2 for 70 bux because it supports the most formats natively, even djuv and isn't boated. Finally I can read the books I "bought" online.

Rooted Nook Simple Touch.

I like my old 1st gen Kobo Touch. Micro USB to transfer and charge, appears as a regular USB mass storage fat32 device (so no syncing software required), has a microSD slot for expansion, reads plain old epub files, no kobo account required to use it, and it weighs almost nothing with a battery that lasts forever on a charge. It's reasonably durable, too.

(But interestingly, it has wifi and a simple web browser. Not great for daily use, but handy in a pinch.)

I have a Hanlin V5. It's very small and some pdf files are unreadable on it, but otherwise it's pretty useful and I couldn't live without it.

I have a Kobo Glo, I really like it. It's easy to bypass its register stuff, there are people who modded Android and Debian to run on it, and k2pdfopt makes pdf readable on it. Really great.

Kindle 3 Keyboard. A jailbroken one, of course - I don't really like Amazon. They don't care though, it's deprecated by their standards.

MOBI render flawlessly, battery life is awesome, you can change the screensavers with a hack, you can listen to audiobooks I guess & it's pretty damn cheap. Couldn't ask for more.

The Kobo Aura HD is good for things like reading manga and comics and at its less than 100USD price online it still beats the kindle voyager

I recently bought an Energy Sistem eReader Pro which is basically a rebranded Boyue T62. It runs Android so you can install apps via Play Store (or F-Droid) and has WiFi, audio support, microSD and backlighting.

So far quite happy with it. I'm even thinking about getting the Pro+ (T62+) version and give this one to my wife.

Kobo phones home, which is why I got a Nook ST.

Does Basic 2 have wifi? On their website they write it has no "wireless connectivity" (http://www.pocketbook-int.com/us/products/pocketbook-basic-2#specifications), but other sources claim that it has wifi since model 614, but it has no browser. I also have found an user manual, which covers using wifi and browser. This is very important for me because I'm considering buying Basic Touch just for wifi.
How does it work with pdfs? Can you zoom them? User manual says so.

Is there any other option worth considering? I'm looking only for cheap readers, 'cause I'm poor and living in second-world country.

Which one should I take?

I've been using a paperwhite for half a year now and it's nice. Wish it had a larger display for manga. Written word is great on it though.
