Just a note, I'm not picking on you here, but you brought up some good points

I noticed years ago that after 5-600 books on my K2 it slowed down considerably. Paired with the issue that's such a PITA to organize them them the way I wanted anyway. So much so, I deleted most of my books off the device to the 200-300 range so I had what I was reading and a variety if I got a wild hair for something.
FWIW I found the DX to start slowing at a lower number than my older K2??? but so it goes.
That being said would having an SD card full of 10,000 books or articles be 100x worse?

Which sounds good, but they are becoming too hard to hold. You HAVE to get a case for whatever you get, and that makes it a lot better, but they are still a bit small. Unfortunately, there are not too many 7" or 8" ereaders out there.

I thought the same thing. While the DX is a lot bigger than my older K2 and part of the reason I went to an E Reader was arthritis in my hands made holding a 1000 page doorstop an issue. The bigger ereader seems easier to hold and turn pages than the super small ones. Even the 6 inch one.
Back to the original question The Kobo seems to fit your choice the best but I don't have any experience with it myself.
I found the DX to be a little large and it feels as heavy as my Ipad 2 with its case on but the large screen and button placement is worth the trade off.
Just my 0.2
