What are the best e-readers on the market?
I'm a lover of physical books but I'm looking to get an e-reader as well, for those books that are hard to find physical copies of, or are just very expensive.
I've ruled out Onyx, because I try to avoid Chinese tech as it's usually poorly made. But I'm not sure whether Kindle or Kobo is best. Is being tied to Amazon's ecosystem too restricting? Are the Kobo e-readers compatible with everything you need? Which ones have the best screens, ideally how a physical book would look?
So many questions, but hopefully some of you can help. 😁

I hate to recommend Boox,but I have an Onyx Book Poke 3 color, and it's basically an Android tablet that just pretends to be an e-reader. Any format, any audio, any webpage... Comics too. Had it for years, never let me down. Not as good of battery life as the Kindle, but with Calibre on my laptop and the Boox, I don't ever pick up the Kindle anyways. Instinctively, I wanna crap on Boox as I don't like some of their business practices, but the Poke is actually my go to e-reader, so...
As an alternative, I know that there are some e-ink e-readers in a phone sized form factor from a few companies, such as Hisense. Can't say too much about them as I don't have one, but half the time I read on my phone because it's small enough to come with me everywhere. Just a thought.
