My Dad's on the lookout for a reasonable e-book reader. No Android, no color, no LCD screen - eInk only.

It's been over a decade I last bought an ebook reader, and the Kindle Paperwhite we bought back then still functions great (it never connected to the internet), so I'm a bit out of my depth.

I was looking at a Kobo Clara BW, and I seem to recall reading favourable reviews of Kobo devices.

Is this a good one? Or is there any better one in a similar price range?

For various reasons, not interested in second hand devices, nor DIY or hacked customs. Dad needs something that can be bought off the shelf of a random local shop (or ordered online, shipping to Hungary without horrible tarrifs).

@algernon I used 2 Pocketbooks (one I broke screen, 2nd lost in airport). Decided to buy Kobo, colour one. Not really happy with Kobo, even though it has more features, but Pocketbooks worked and did the job. I'd advice Pocketbook
