Another way to approach it is to consider what your main use will be. The more you read at home, the more attractive a large reader, while the more portable you want it, the more attractive a small one. The Libra might be a good compromise, or it might fail to achieve either goal.
If you’ve not had an ereader (there’s a Nook listed in your profile), over $300 seems like a whole lot to blow on spec and the Clara might really be your best choice as you test the waters.

Speaking of portability, I find my original H2O quite portable.
Size of the H2O: 179 x 129 x 9.7 mm
Size of the Libra H2O: 144 x 159 x 7.8 mm
Size of the Clara HD: 159.6 x 110 x 8.35 mm
So the Libra will also be very portable. I agree that 7" will be better for reading. When I went with the H2O with a 6.8" screen, I decided that a 6" screen is a bit small. I got spoiled by the larger screen.
