Despite my disappointment with the particular Clara HD I bought, and returned, last year, if I were thinking of buying a new reader I would take a close look at the Kobo range. I could still purchase from Amazon and de-drm (or read on my paperwhite).
Note, by sideload, I meant books not purchased from Amazon.

Kobo doesn't need wifi to read embedded comments in epub.

I already buy from Kobo to load to my Paperwhite. I actually like Kindle hardware. Well, the Paperwhite line at least. I find it to be a good compromise between price and features particularly when it's on sale.
