Anything I don't have to connect to some dumb ass account, and I can just plug into my mac and shove some theory onto it. I don't need wifi, or bluetooth or anything. Just a simple, dumb book device.

    I've got a Kobo and use it offline with downloaded EPUBS, works great. I think you need to modify one file from the computer to use it without an account, though. If a Kindle works without an account or internet, they are cheaper used than Kobos. The main disadvantage is that Kindles can't read EPUB natively, you need to convert to MOBI or something.

    Either way, I'd highly recommend getting a real e-reader over something with an LCD screen. It's way easier on the eyes and the battery lasts ~10× as long.
