Lots of knowledgeable folks here with a lot of good info, but, I think that for wringing out which details matter and why, nothing beats YouTube. I especially like this dude, but there are other good ones:

Yeah, I've combed through a lot of YouTube. It seems like a lot of the content is focused on the latest tech these days though, mainly about note taking ability and such (which I have no interest in). Or if they're talking about the Libra Colour, they're just gushing about how they're happy they made the switch from Kindle. I'm familiar with your guy you linked, funnily enough I saw a video of his where he was criticizing the Libra H2O over things like the location of your power button and charge port, and saying how horrible the page turn buttons are. I don't know if I find his reviews to be the most objective.

I was hoping that some of the enthusiasts here might have first hand experience with the old Libra H2O and the newer devices to see if the upgrade is worth it. So far, what I'm finding is that it doesn't seem like it.
