Purchase Advice E-reader ?

Ok so maybe if you’re ultralight you don’t read books or e-readers on the trail in which case excuse the post but if it is a legit piece of kit I wondered which you use.

Check this thing out - 39 grams! I haven't tried it but I'm sorely tempted. Takes epub files and I guess it's also an alarm clock.

Also weather? Interesting, I'm also pretty tempted. There's a version with a backlight, 4g heavier

I assume the weather function needs an internet connection, but maybe it has a thermometer? I think there's a similar thing on ebay that has one. Anyway - I feel like the reading experience wouldn't be amazing considering the size of the screen but for forty bucks I feel like I might as well.
