Wow. Thanks for all of the great advice.
As ZodWallop inferred, I was (am?) leaning toward the Kobo for all of the reasons I noted in my original post. But after reading this thread and various other MR posts, I still cannot decide which I'd prefer. It's comforting to learn that most of you think the Clara and PW are both solid e-readers. Sounds like either will be a good reading device. In the end, I think I'm going to order a Clara and a PW (and hope that neither device has the light bleed/misaligned usb port issues), try them out at home, and return one of them after I decide which I like best. If I still can't decide once I have the e-readers in my hands, I'll flip a coin as Barry suggested!
And ZodWallop: I definitely considered waiting for the Clara 2 or Paperwhite 5 with the hope that they'd be waterproof and have the color-changing light. Not willing to wait for them to be produced though.
Thanks again. I really appreciate all of your suggestions.
