Oh, that's VERY good to know. I had actually ordered the Clara before reading this, and before JSWOLF's strong endorsement for the larger screen. Portability is very important to me, and a device that can easily fit in a jacket pocket or cargo shorts will get more use. So based on that, plus being a cheapskate, the Clara felt right. Since I'm happy with the screen real estate on my other ereaders, I'm sure that would have worked for me.

But if my Glo HD can still be my take anywhere device for OverDrive titles, and I don't have to mess with ADE, then I'm willing to spring the extra $ for the Libra. Still a little limiting, in that I'll need to first get new OverDrive content on the Libra even to read it on the Glo, but I can live with that. Just gotta plan ahead more for the few trips I take where I won't want the larger device.

Fortunately I was able to cancel my order and replace it for the larger model. I ordered from Kobo directly (and not the Kobo link to Walmart) since it's currently cheaper there. Anticipation, and sleep cover shopping, underway.

Thanks for all your help.
