Many thanks for all the comments. I narrowed it down to the Clara bw and pocketbook verse, then wavered over whether actually to get the verse pro for the better screen. That led me down the rabbit hole of looking at the verse pro colour because it was only £5 more than the verse pro.

Anyway, I bought the verse and I love it. Definitely an upgrade from the glo hd. Supposedly a worse screen but I don’t notice any difference. I’m loving the buttons - and that I can customise them - and the rotation. The game changer though is the built in ADE. I can navigate to my county library on the web page (my library uses cloud library), choose my book and select download for offline reading and then (this is the game changing part) the built in ADE automatically authorises the DRM. No more connecting to a PC and fighting with the awful ADE programme. Send to pocketbook works brilliantly too. I’ve used the kobo store and sent books to the reader, too.

I’ve also used the RSS feed to create a daily news feed. I hadn’t got around to trying instapaper on kobo so who knows, that may have been just as good.

The pocketbook looks and feels lovely. A much more premium look and finish than my old kobo. I bought an official sleep cover which is also lovely.

Can you tell I’m enjoying my new e-reader?!
