Ok short version, bricked my prs T1...have over 400 drm books so would like to stay with something that supports ePub. From my research the kobo glo HD is the front runner, but I'm not opposed to side loading either. Just like to read don't need a lot of bells and whistles...

Go dump the DRM. See Apprentice Alf for help on how to do so.

So I'm assuming if I take this route it opens up any reader and then if so what seems to be the most reliable choice?

I would go with a Kobo Glo HD if you want 6" and if you want a larger screen (6.8"), go for the Kobo Aura H2O. I had a T1 and I went for the H2O.

I think Jon made a typo, the Glo HD has a 6" screen.

I think your realistic choices today are a Kobo or a Kindle. They're both first rate devices. I personally think the Kindles are a little better but they'll mean using Calibre to convert to Kindle formats. That's not a big job but with the Kobo you won't have to do it.

I don't really think it matters that much which you get. They're both excellent and you'll like whichever you get.

Yes it was a typo. Thanks for catching that.
