I suspect that if the screen is comparable I will end up using pocketbook, ergonomy, and out of the box ease of transferring books will be main reasons... will see
I like both, but the fonts on the HD 3 stand out more. (It may not be something you particularly like, but I like contrast.) I didn't realize how pronounced this was until I compared the HD3 and the Clara (side by side, same book, same font NOT THE SAME FONT, (see below edit), same basic lighting). The Clara definitely renders fonts differently (duller). This is the Constantia font (probably too dark for many) but the Clara seems to "lighten" it, the HD 3 seems to keep it "as is."

EDIT: Okay, ignore the images, the font is the book's default (even though it said it was Constantia). For some inexplicable reason, my Clara is no longer changing fonts -- at all -- when using ePubs. Still works with KePubs. I tried updating to 4.31.x and that didn't help. I did change the Adobe orphans and widows settings, thought maybe that was it, but I've removed those lines, restarted, updated and still no go.
