I've used a Nook HD+ for a couple years and recently my phone for reading my ebooks but I'm just tired of the battery life being so bad compared to an e-ink. Don't get me wrong, I love my Nook HD+, its just that its so big, it doesn't lend itself well for when I travel, so getting something in the 6" screen size thats lighter is very appealing. So I'm trying to make that jump, but from what I've been reading, it doesn't look like its easy to decide which device will work best for me.

I have a lot of side loaded books (some almost 10MB in size, others about 0.1 MB). I was going to get the Nook Glowlight Plus, but I keep hearing that space available for side loaded content is either 500 MB or 214MB....if true, not enough for me. But I don't even know if that is true.
I like Kobo for sideloaded ebooks. I have no interest in buying ebooks from Kobo but the font options keep me coming back.

My recommendation would be the Aura H2O.
