Similar to Uncle Robin, I was a Kindle user for years--started with a Kindle Keyboard. I decided to try a Clara HD, and liked it. Now have a Forma as well--and a Mini I bought off shopgoodwill. Since I liked them, and was now in the adventurous mode after breaking from Amazon, I went wild and also bought a Pocketbook Touch HD3. Yes, I'm one of those people that have a device everywhere.
I primarily read the Touch HD3 @night, and the Clara HD during the day (just because of what rooms they are in, but could swap them and it wouldn't make a difference to me). I do like the mini for out and about, but I'll also slip the Touch HD3 or Clara HD into a pocket as well.
I haven't (yet) determined that I need a 7" or 8" device for day to day. I don't pick up the Forma as much as I thought I would. But if you need the extra screen real estate, I can't say which 'one' would be better for you, the Pocketbook Inkbook, or Kobo Libra or Aura H2O are all about that size. And would all on the surface fulfill your needs for software.
Maybe it'll boil down to service or returns? "if" you were to have issues with a device, and it's within warranty return period, would it be easier to return a Pocketbook type, or a Kobo type? (does that even matter to you). Is it interesting/more important to you to have the Kobo community (like the forum here for Kobo), or more important to you to have some of the features a Pocketbook has (which you don't mention as important to you now... but once you have them, might be cool to have)?
Lighting on a kobo device--I never had any issues with mine.
