I'd say Libra / Libra 2, but it's gone. The Libra colour is inferior for text to Oasis 2, Libra, Libra2, Original Aura H2O HD etc.
So nearest is the 8" Kobo Sage. I just bought a 2nd in case they do what happened to Libra2.
Integrates with Calibre. I sent 8034 ebooks in one go to the new one. I'd backed up current one reading status with Kobo Utilities.
The Import after eject took a while. Then I reconnected (which updates series, subtitle etc) and restored reading positions.
Calibre sets Cover, Author, Title, subtitle, series, publisher info, blurb/comment and collections on a Kobo.
I have the official Sideloaded Mode set, so the the home page is the library, not adverts etc. Unlike Amazon you can revert to any earlier FW for the model. No need for frontlight (which can be amber tinted) if enough light to read a paperback (as with Oasis 2 I had).
You can still use Whispernet + WiFi to download from Amazon to Oasis 3 and deDRM the KFX to Calibre (at the moment).
The epub is the best format for Calibre and editing CSS etc. You can use books bought anywhere except Barnes&Noble and Apple (Amazon ebooks need the Oasis 3 as cache). Not limited to Kobo Store.
It's a bit bigger than the Oasis 2 or 3 (a Libra 2, now only S/H is similar size, I have Libra and Libra 2).
