What I DON'T want/need: SD card (ebooks don't take up much storage!!), touchscreen (ok if it has one tho), audio, dictionary, notes, etc.
So, does a simple small epub e-reader with front light exist? if so, please point me in that direction! Thx!!

A modern 6" (front-lit) eReader is as small (and lighter) than your PRS-300. A Sony PRS-350 is only slightly smaller than a Clara (or a PocketBook HD3 or Touch Lux 4), but a bit lighter. I've attached some comparison images. This is probably the real reason why 5" eReaders went the way of the dodo. (The picture shows the Tolino Shine 3, but it's exactly the same size as the Kobo Clara.)
(The last picture is of the PRS-300, a Kobo Aura 2 and the PRS-350. The PRS-350 is small and nice, but no front light.)
Also, this shows it's possible to have nice fonts on the PRS-300, but you have to embed them — this one is using Constantia.)
