My partner and I both got a Kobo, we're very happy with it. We use Calibre to manage our collection. Haven't tried DeDRM yet though. I got the Kobo Aura ONE, and she's got the Kobo Aura H2O. I actually prefer the 6.8" yes it is smaller but it lays better in the hand and is easier to take with you (fits better in the pocket). Its also about 50 EUR cheaper.
Some disadvantages: macOS doesn't have always recognise the device, it has 2.4 GHz WiFi only (put if off to save your battery). The Kobo's also have that screen refresh feature btw you can reduce its effectiveness if you're reading a lot.
Immediately after you bought it, check out the coating of the screen very carefully. I send one ONE back because it had a minor damage to the coating which caused bleeding. I found that distracting, YMMV. The 2 devices got it as well, but less severe and it depends on how you hold the device whether you notice it.
