I use a Kobo Clara HD. There's a newer version available (it's a Clara model, can't recall the exact name) but the Clara HD does the job well. Of the reviews I've read, if you own a Clara HD, upgrading to the newest model may not be worth it for you.
I also use my iPad Air + Google Books, and the Kindle app, for things that are either on those accounts or don't play nice with the Clara HD. For example, PDF advance reader copies do not work very well on the Kobo, and converting them with Calibre doesn't always work either.
I also have a Kobo Clara HD and I love it. Battery life isn't quite as good as my old Paperwhite (but still good) but more than made up for by not having to deal with Amazon and being able to actually make categories of books on the thing and the use of Overdrive/Libby.
I also used Calibre for my Paperwhite and use it for my Kobo, and the Kobo is just better and doesn't feel like such a fight to use.
Only other complaints would be: not that many cases available for it, and the lowest light setting is a good bit brighter than on the Paperwhite. All minor things.
