Which Kobo?

I just received a non-working Touch, it has to be returned.

I do need an ereader. I already have a 10" tablet, and don't want another. It's too heavy to read with. There's a stand, but it only connects in landscape and I prefer reading in portrait.

I have the original Nook Wifi. It won't load over 200 books, even on the SD card.

I did like the plain format. I don't need pictures of what I'm reading, reading charts for progress, other cutesy nonsense or even shelves. I had it sorted by authors and that was just fine. I have the same list on the Acer tablet, in tree file format. That works, too. It does show covers.

I'm looking at another Touch, Glo and Aura. How do you measure a screen? The Nook screen is roughly 4x5 but the outside measures 6x8. The extra is the color tabs to library, games, settings. I like the extra space. Don't need HD or H2O. How do they do in sunlight?

Found some info on sideloading - I like the Smashwords site.

We have no seller in town, where's a decent place to buy? Kobo itself? I'm in the US.

Thanks
