Paperwhite alternative... kobo?

What I need:
*backlight
*More than 2gb of space

What I'd like:
* expandable storage
* Maybe something bigger than 6" screen
* Native .epub reading capabilities
* decent pdf capabilities
* flat front screen.. where hairs, dust, crap don't get caught
* Under $200 US

Not really looking for a tablet, but something with e-ink. 90% of my books are side-loaded and are usually in .epub format, so I'm not really bound to a certain bookstore.

I currently have the 5th gen Paperwhite with 2gb of storage. Unfortunately, I read a lot of technical books where the average size is ~80mb each, so storage fills up too quickly. That, and I'm apparently unlucky with Kindles as they die in about a year's time (I believe I'm on my 8th).

So I've kind of narrowed it down to a Kobo Aura H20, or the Kobo Aura? Should I look into a Nook Glowlight Plus (have they fixed the blotchy back lighting from the initial Glowlight models), or any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
