I have gone through so many devices and setups trying to find an ebook situation that makes sense. Kindle, Book, different sizes. Fantasy of reading Instapaper and PDFs and comics and stuff, not just ebooks, and having it not be a huge pain in the ass.
What I have found is that for me, ebook readers are good for ebooks and ebooks only. And just normal ebooks; PDFs stink on every e-ink device (including 12" devices I've used).
So my current setup is that my 12.9" iPad Pro is my "everything" reader since it's the only no-compromise device (PDFs and comics at full size) and it has the apps I need.
I now try to use my phone more for ebooks, and took social media off it. We'll see how that goes. Now that Kindles will automatically convert ePubs to KFX via sent-to-kindle maybe I will try that again, if KFX files can actually live in your personal documents library. (You can't sync sideloaded books with the Kindle unless they're in the terrible MOBI format.)
