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?

The boox readers appear to be the best because they have a full android rom, but they're expensive. My experience with Kobo has been bad, I've had 3 devices fail for various reasons even though they're quite a bit more expensive than Kindle.

I've since switched to a refurbished Kindle Oasis, which is a great piece of hardware for the money. Top notch screen, light, great form factor, real buttons that are well placed. It's got the stupid Amazon ecosystem, but I don't pay for books, so it doesn't bother me, I just don't use it. They still give you an email address so you can easily send books from calibre without needing to plug it in.
