I have a reMarkable
<a target="_blank" href="https://remarkable.com/">https://remarkable.com/</a> which is great for PDFs, writing notes, etc. and it will also read.
<br />
<br /> It’s quite nice. I generally use it instead of paper for notes. You can even transfer web pages to it (from a Chrome plug-in) to read them in more comfort.

As I expected, there's lots of really good feedback :-)

<br /> I should have clarified that I have lots and lots of tablets and phones and

<br /> enough to at least want to try one (mostly for battery life, eye strain,
<br /> and general impressions). Ideally I could just buy one and it would be

<br /> Well if you want something with great battery life that is great for
<br /> reading ebooks in daylight, an ereader is great. For the things you
<br /> listed though, they are useless.
<br />
<br /> So if you want to carry 200 books with you, they are fantastic. They
<br /> remember what page you were on in each book. Very handy for book worms.
<br />
<br /> They are very much not generic computing devices at all though. They do
<br /> one thing well and that's it. I know sony tried doing mp3 support for
<br /> audio books on early models and dropped it later since it drained the
<br /> battery and was no match for an ipod shuffle for audio books.
