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.

    Well, it’s really meant for e-ink devices. Understandably the experience on Android tablets would be sub-par. I often don’t even use the file browser. As my book is downloaded I begin reading, any of my previous books are neatly displayed in the “History”. So the only reason to navigate the file explorer would be for a book I downloaded a while ago but never opened. I just dump all downloaded books (except manga) to one folder anyway, so I wouldn’t be navigating much. If you have all your books organised neatly into different folders on Android and try to navigate to them via Koreader you’ll have a hard time of it. Would be easier to use your file manger and just open with KoReader.

        Am I right in understanding that you want more information density in the file manager? In that case I would recommend switching the display mode to “Classic (filename only)”. That would display more books at once but you won’t have any covers in the file manager.
