Sorry - Still Kindle (or a Tablet of some kind) ... It means you *can* still buy books from amazon (which in the UK is the cheapest and has the biggest range - sorry but thats the truth).

Combine the Kindle with Calibre and various methods of stripping Kindle DRM (if you really must) and you can stick pretty much anything on the kindle. Most of the small ebook selers will sell you in Mobi format (I use Deisel Ebooks for a lot of SF). Also - yes most of the big fanfic sites now have a one button convert to mobi button.

You can order the Kindle Touch from Amazon.com (its not on UK yet but its an offical 'you can buy it from .com'

Also the thing about changing the order of the books displayed - Its completely user controled from a system setting.

You may want to consider the Fire if you are going to import - depends on the e Ink preference. It comes down to money - If you look on Ebay (if you dont want to self import) You can get a fire for aroun £150 (US £199 on Amazon.com) the down side of the fire is that you go LCD so can be an issue if reading outside in daylight - the upside is its colour and has comics - Otherwise from what you have said I'd go Kindle touch

I'd seriously advise against the kobo due to build qulaity, software issues, choice and cost of books
