Hi,

My Kindle won't boot anymore and keeps getting stuck in boot screen, so I thought this might be a good time to get away from Amazon, even though that device was great.

So, what non-kindle readers would you recommend?

It should have color and background light and it shouldn't be huge so I can keep it in the back pocket.

And, since I don't have any experience outside the Amazon ecosystem: how is the experience of buying and transferring books to non Kindle readers?

I have used PocketBook touch lux 5 but the screen cracked twice. (User error but still, screen is a weak link)

KoReader made it so snapy I couldn't believe it at first.

Now I have got kindle as I received it as a gift, so I jailbroke it and also installed KoReader on it.
