"Appealing size" is not really a clue - what do you mean by that? And what will be the actual purpose(s) of the device? Reading novels? Comics? Interactive picture books? Textbooks? (What format(s)?) Educational software? Something else? You mentioned "sketchbook" - are you looking for particular drawing apps? Are you interested in library book borrowing?
And just to check - you're aware that the Kobo Glo is very old tech now, aren't you? That's a 2012 device. It really doesn't reflect the current hardware on the market.
Knowing what country you are in also helps.

This is to sit and read with and they can use under observation and also as they get older on their ownsome - I will not be giving them any Android or IPads type tablet device, they are too young and that's falls into computer class and is a non-reflective screen, i.e. backlit.
Imagine budget is no object, so all options are visible.
Yes Kobo is old tech but tbh I preferred the 2006 iLiad, *go figure!
*Appealing size = A5 or B5, physical size, going back to theilaid it's screen was physically larger even though it had less pixels / lower res, it was closer to A5.
So this is just READING, the joy of reading on a electronic device that is as close to reading stories to children from a book, allowing learning to read and so on with a safe device that is as close to a book experience, again no backlit screen.
I will also create content to use on the device, my own stories and pictures.
