Just a +1 to what davidfor and Barry said.

Whichever one you buy you will likely be happy.

I'm leaning towards recommending the Kindle as I think that it fits your requirements best. The only items in your list where Kobo beats Kindle are in handling ePub and possibly fonts. (Your requirement wasn't clear. Kobo has MANY more font control options, but the Kindle can adjust font size and type.)

The rest, either Kindle beats Kobo or they tie. And the closest competition in your list is the Aura 2 and the Paperwhite at $169 and the Paperwhite has the higher res screen.

Not sure who wins at page turns. You can find comparison videos on YouTube, but I'm pretty sure they are the same.

If you are still on the fence, I say go cheap and buy the refurbed Glo. It has a warranty and is nearly half the price of the rest.
