Kobo Aura/Glo or Kindle Paperwhite?

So my Kindle touch has recently died and I think it's time for a new reader. I had a love/hate relationship with it over the three years we were together. It was super buggy and I had it replaced under warranty at the beginning (the new one was a bit buggy but I learned the tricks for managing that). The wifi didn't always work and i had to reset it frequently. I'd like to avoid those problems if possible.

I'm looking at these three models because I really dig the idea of a built in light as I most often read in bed at night and hate waking my significant other. I'm open to suggestions, however. Here are some other factors to consider:

Most of my books are kobo format, and I also use overdrive (which in my area seems to have mostly epub). I'm not opposed to buying kindle books but would like to be able to read the books I already own.

I would really like the option to sync books automatically as I sometimes only have my phone or tablet with me and do use ebook apps such as kobo, kindle and overdrive.

I'd prefer something fairly light and portable, but if I can sync books automatically this is less important, as I can read on my tablet or phone when I'm on the go.

Thanks!!
