Bigger screen or waterproofing. Or buttons if you go to the Forma. Which also supports landscape mode.

Kobo runs the same firmware on all their current devices. The differences in functions are pretty much limited to the differences in hardware. Lights, coloured lights, buttons, etc. all have to be handled. But, the library management and reading is the same. There can be some lag as Kobo will release new function with a new device and add that function to the other devices later. The Forma is the only device that officially supports landscape mode. That does have an accelerometer to switch the modes. We are waiting to see if they will add a manual change for the other devices.

I think Amazon does something similar with the Kindles, but I don't pay enough attention to them to be sure.

If you want a 6" screen, then the Clara HD is the one I would recommend. It is an excellent device. And it is easy to carry around. I would recommend looking at the others and if the larger screens, waterproofing or buttons are desirable then they might be better for you.
