I'm still hesitant about the Kobos, even though I know a lot of people are very happy with them. The H2O seems too expensive and the Glo HD seems like nothing special when compared to its Kindle/Nook peers.

It does sound like you're likely to be happy with whatever you choose. It's not that any one device is 'special' compared to others, just that they all have a slightly different feature set to suit different individual needs and wants. For me, Kindle's lack of Calibre collections management and display control (including easy sideloading of fonts, fine control of margins and line spacing as well as font size) are dealbreaker missing features. For others, they care nothing for these issues, and other things matter more (ecosystem etc).
I would recommend you have a quick squiz at the font and display options before choosing a Kindle, if you haven't yet, just to check that they're fine for you - there are only three options for margin and line spacing, for example. In good news, the new Bookerly font is much easier to look at (for me, and quite a few others) than Caecilia.
