Personally I think a 6" screen is the best size for reading novels for someone who doesn't need really large text. I'd prefer a 5" screen but those aren't available anymore.
My suggestion is to read reviews on all the current models, Kindle, Kobo and Nook, and pick out the one that has the features and price you want. I realize you said no Kindles but reading Kindle reviews will give you better perspective even if you pick another Kobo.
My personal opinion is that they're all good and that you're the only one who can pick the best fit to you. Since you want to read epub Kobo is probably going to be your best option but you won't really know that till you have a good grasp on what's available.
