I know what I don't want, that is a Kindle, and any tablet device. I don't need annotation functionality etc. I will mainly/only be reading epubs.

Size wise, I think the size of the Aura was 6" and that was good.

What I also would like, is a sturdy/resistant device, or one that has a known good cover that I can buy additionally.

So, as far as I know, my main option I think is the Kobo Clara. The comfortlight feature seems very interesting as well.

Any other device than the Clara that I should be looking at?

Thanks!
I suggest you also look at the Kobo Libra H2O. It has a 7" screen. I had 6" Readers for a long time and when I decided to move on from my Sony Reader PRS-T1, I bought the Kobo Aura H2O and I like the larger screen. The screen is 6.8" and I would be perfectly happy with a 7" screen. I feel that once you go with a larger screen, a 6" screen make feel small.

With a larger screen, you can have larger text before the text looks a bit too larger for the screen size, full screen images can look better and they will look larger, it can feel more natural when reading, More text on screen so less page turns for longer batter life. Plus, the Libra H2O has buttons if you want them.

Overall, I think the Libra H2O is the better Kobo to get vs. the Clara HD.
