As much as I hate proprietary shit, Kindle is just the best ebook reader out there. It lasts forever, in terms of both battery life and the device itself, smooth, top notch UI... etc

When I first bought my new Kindle PW, I immediately turned on Airplane mode and never turned it off. I use Calibre & DRM free ebooks and I had 0 issues.

Having used both, i prefer the kobos. They just eat up everything you throw at them.

Kobo with calibre-web sync. Hands down the best ereader I've ever owned.

I’ve been too lazy to set it up until now. Ahahah i guess i’ll look into it this afternoon just for the sake of it. Thanks for the kindly reminder.

Check out some of the newer versions of calibre-web like the Automated one. I would like to switch but I'm waiting to be able to factory reset both ereaders or get new ones.
