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 would set it up like this. Everything you have in Calibre Web, or only on a shared shelf, will show up in your Kobo reader book section and is ready to download.

No plugins or extra software, it just works.
