Preferably not a Kindle because I dislike Amazon spyware but if it must be then it must be.

My use case is downloading PDFs and epubs onto my phone and transferring them to the eink display.

    I know this isn’t what you asked for exactly, but if you’re interested in a more useful device, there are e-ink note takers like the Ratta Supernote (which I have) that sync with cloud services and let you write and draw on the screen and on documents. They’re pricey, but life-changing if they fit into your workflow.

    Otherwise, I’ll second the Kobo. I have the predecessor to the Libra 2 (Libra H2O) and it’s just a phenomenal device. Literally my only complaint is it has a micro USB port (fixed on the current Libra 2).

      I second the Supernote!

      I also own a Remarkable, but after they removed features and began charging a subscription to re-enable the existing features, I looked elsewhere.

      The Supernote has been great! Way more features than Remarkable. You can sync locally or in the cloud. The pen never needs replacing. I got used to the feel and prefer it over Remarkable’s screen now. Plus the devs are open about their roadmap and regularly listen to feedback. And they have NO subscription!
