[QUOTE=MorningSong;226389TL;DR summary: Want native epub, pretty and customizable fonts/text layout, and non-crippled sideloading. What do?[/QUOTE]

The Glo will do all that, although I've never done it myself, you can add fonts to it, it's very customizable and all my books are sideloaded (the Glo uses the same firmware as the Mini and Touch) from Calibre and display well and give the page reference at the bottom of the screen as "page 12 of 256" for example.
Someone else will surely chime in with a more technical comment that elaborates on this but I think the Glo answers your wants.
