Is there any device people use for reading scientific papers that doesn't have a configurable hosts file?

  Yes. An Android tablet with FBReader or Pocketbook. Almost certainly a similarly configured iOS device. (I use the former heavily. It is among the devices autoconfigured by the system described in the OP.)

    You can modify the hosts file on an Android device relatively easily.

      That's not been my experience.

        It's the most common way of doing ad blocking on Android, you do it the same way as you would on a Linux PC. Of course, you need root, just like on a PC. There are apps that will do it for you even.
