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.

Have you tried a larger then 6" eInk screen? I have and I would not want to go back to 6". So hat kind of leaves out the nook as it may be too large at 7.8". The new Kobo firmware (IMHO) is better then the Kindle firmware. I;ve seen a direct comparison of the Libra and the Oasis 3 showing the same manga and the Oasis looked washed out. The Kobo looked much better and it dithers better. The hardware for the Libra and Oasis 3 are similar but the Libra doesn't have that silly bump on the back.
