I have a Kobo Clara HD, also moved quite a few years ago from a Kindle to this. I really love the accessibility of the Kobo ecosystem. The store, while not as vast as Amazon, has good books to choose from. You can also load your own items onto it. Calibre has good support. All in all, I am happier with it than the Kindle; not worried about a book disappearing on me.
I have a Kobo Libra 2 and I also like the Kobo ecosystem.
You can ignore the store entirely if you want (I have done that) or you can use the store and it appears to have plenty of books at a reasonable price.
I'm pretty sure you don't even have to login or make an account if you don't want too.
I have Kobo Forma. Selecting text doesn't work well, and it seems the battery always drains quickly in sleep mode. But otherwise very good, love the large screen.
On my Kobo Libra 2 the battery only drained with wifi on. It won't charge over 76% for some reason though.
