I refuse to use an ereader that runs android, and kobo devices look fragile as fuck every time I see them. They may not be, but they literally look like they can snap in two.
that leaves PocketBook and Kindle, both of which are good picks. If you're getting a kindle, jailbreak and install KOReader, or keep it on Airplane mode for eternity.
most e-ink readers read multiple formats. kindles too, they run MOBI, AZW3, PRC, TXT, PDF and maybe DOC/DOCX too. EPUB is definitely the most popular format though, but kindles don't run it because bezos smooth-head reasons. Either way, use Calibre. it's the best way to get books on or off an e-ink device and the conversion it does is excellent.
