Since I'm happy with the screen real estate on my other ereaders, I'm sure that would have worked for me.

Putting a Reader in your jacket pocket or pants pocket is a very good way for the screen to become damaged. Don't do it. Get a bag to carry your Reader in. It's what do and I've never broken a screen on any Reader I've owned/own. And yes, I've taken some out and about quite a lot. I carry other stuff in my bag so I don't have to try to stuff pockets. I take my backup battery, phone, glasses cloth, sometimes Reader, sometimes headphones or earphones, sometimes music player, asthma medication, and other stuff. But it comes in very handy to be able to carry stuff with 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.

The Libre can be your out and about Reader as well as your home Reader. My H2O is my out and about and my home Reader. Glad you were able to change the order easily. You'll like the 7" screen. Now that I've been using a 6.8" screen, I find the 6" screen a tad small.
