Having said that, and rereading your post, the answer is obvious. So, here is a version you can show whoever manages your finances :
The Clara HD is a much better device. The screen is much better and has very little ghosting. The Comfortlight Pro light means you will sleep better. The Overdrive integration means you can borrow books from the library rather than buy them. The extra space means that you can carry more books including those big books you haven't been able to read. And it will mean you can stop swearing each time you need to put a few books on the device and the USB port doesn't connect.
Will that work? 
And in case you are wondering, I'm very familiar with the question, "Why do you need another ereader?" |
Ha! I manage my own finances so it's more of me arguing with myself while looking at my YNAB than anything. I think I am ok paying the $30 more or whatever it is full price, plus shipping, on the Kobo site (which is way less than the $168 the Walmart site was saying is original mrsp?) and riding the Glo HD out, I just know kobos go on sale maybe once a year and that's why I was considering it. If it dies I can use the Paperwhite 3 and make collections on the device and sideload Kobo purchases until the next sale, though it's a bit of a PITA to download and remove DRM on a Chromebook running Linux (I haven't done it in a while, I just read the occasional book only available in Kindle on the Kindle and the rest on the Kobo). Maybe I'll decide that the Libra is portable enough for me and go for that next time too, who knows. All the annoyances are annoying but hey, it still works.
Anyway, thank you!!
