So, I went with a Kobo Aura H2O; replacing my stolen Kindle Paperwhite 1.

Will be arriving next week. Got it on sale for about $10 off, and thought it wasn't worth the wait for Black Friday. I want them now, before the mail couriers are overloaded with Black Friday purchases, and I'll have to wait a week longer...

Looking forward to use this device, double the resolution, and 0.8" larger. The Kindle was a tiny bit too small for my big hands, and a book always looked cramped for me.

What did it for me, was the more yellowish tint the front light had, the SD card, the larger size, and the multi-file format compatibility.
The waterproofing had absolutely zero effect on my purchase. If anything, it actually was a turnoff, due to the infra red touch screen sensors, that don't allow pinch zooming.
