I'm totally conflicted right now..
I absolutely prefer the hardware of the Nook Glowlight Plus (2019 - 7.8") the most. Like others here, I didn't realize until trying it at the store for a good hour just how nice it his to be able to grip it with one or both hands and at any moment use whatever finger feels like changing pages.
I had a Libra for 2 days and returned it. It was a great device, but I felt like it was too "in the middle". If I'm going to go bigger than 6" (Clara HD and Kindle PW2 around house), 7" isn't enough and one might as well go whole hog to 8" class devices. It's really nice to have so much on screen and fonts large and pleasant to read and so much less page turning (especially vs 6" devices).
So one would think the Nook GL+ would be for me -- but man the Kobo software is so great. Honestly I really only read sideloaded books anyhow (no library or store purchased), but I do enjoy my Pocket account. On the kindles there are some web services that allow your Pocket articles to shoot over to the Kindle on schedules, etc.
Are there any such options for Nook? Even a different read-it-later service that would work with a Nook? I'm not wedded to Pocket at all.
I wish the GL+ was a bit lighter, but for a device that size, it's honestly ok. I just love those large bezels that are easy to grip - wide- so comfy with the rubbery surface.
I wish I could have a Nook Glowlight Plus with Kobo software. LOL
