My old one got squished in moving. It was a Kobo Klara I got as a gift. Before, I had a refurbished kindle paperwhite 7th gen that I liked the UI of much more but didn't like having an Amazon product.
Wondering what is out there now.
My main desiderata is that it has warm backlighting and is small. Would also like better .pdf reading than the Kobo that was basically non-doable.
I jailbreaked an older Kindle, installed Ko Reader, put it in airplane mode, and yoho'd a lot of books on it. I think that 7th gen Kindles can still be jailbroken but you'd really have to do some research to make sure.
