My main requirements are: a light filter like the Glowlight 3 has to turn the light orange in the evening, and stability! I want something that I'm not always going to have to be jacking with wondering why the device just decides all the sudden not to show covers for books in my library that have shown fine up until then, or, better yet, when it just decides to delete all my sideloaded content from the device randomly.

I only deal with sideloaded content and my book collection is all in epub, so I'm not keen on getting an Amazon device.

Thanks for any advice...so far it's looking like the Kobo Clara HD may suit my needs, but I don't know much about these devices anymore as I haven't really kept up with them in recent years.

edit: Storage capacity is irrelevant to me. Epubs are tiny and I have no problem plugging in the USB to delete the books I've read and add more when the need arises. I don't think I've ever had more than 20 or 30 books on my Nook at once anyway heh, so even if the capacity is 200 megs I'd probably be fine with it.
I'd agree that the Clara HD meets your requirements if you are looking for a 6 inch screen. Otherwise, you might want to check the H2O ed. 2 (6.8 inch screen) or the Aura One (7.8 inch screen). Kobo ereaders are probably the best for collections, series info, etc. especially if you are using calibre to manage your elibrary. Any of the current Kobo ereaders with the latest firmware allow you to borrow Overdrive library books from the device.

So far I haven't had any of my Kobo ereaders mysteriously delete side-loaded books or collections which does seem to be a very common complaint in the Nook forum.
