I liked it so much that I got to looking at hardware (with a bigger screen). I have largely converged on Kobo for its integration with Calibre (thanks: Kovid!), ability to run koreader, and more open nature (boo: Amazon).
I am posting to crowdsource 3 questions:
1. Should I consider anything other than Kobo? Hardware-wise the newest PW is nice.
2. Should I get a 7" or 8" screen? (leaning toward 7")
3. Any reason not to get a refurbed Libra H2O or Forma? I like buying refurbished and am comfortable taking my chances, but would pay for things that are much better.
(Likes: Color adjustable backlight, auto dimming (I know Kobo doesn't do this), page turn buttons, flush or small bezel, waterproof, usb-c)

I went from a PRS-T1 to the Kobo Aura H2O with a 6.8" screen. I really liked the larger screen. I now have a Kobo Libra 2 and I would say that it's an excellent upgrade from Sony Readers. The hardware is much better and the screen is very nice. Plus the firmware is so much better then even a Kindle.
