This is a device category I have very little knowledge about, but I have a growing collection of PDFs and ebooks and I’d love to have a light weight device to read them on.

Any recommendations? Are they all walled gardens?

    Kindles suck thanks to Amazon lock in, but I pirate all my books and use Calibre to convert/manage my library, and can easily use email to send books to my device. The main reason I stick with this one (paper white) is the battery life. I go a month or two between charges, reading heavily. My wife’s Kobo needs to be charged every couple weeks and she’s a much lighter reader than me.
