Apart from these specs, the contrast and the ghosting of the electronic ink display also tend to get better in newer models. However, even old models tend to be quite usable. I find a Kobo Touch perfectly readable in moderate to strong ambiental light and a Kobo Aura readable with the frontlight off in strong light or with the frontlight on in dark to moderately lit environments.

If you're looking to buy an ereader for use with okreader, I'd recommend getting a Kobo Touch (£10-£30 used on eBay) if you don't need a frontlight or a Kobo Glo (not tested at the moment) or Aura otherwise.
