Well I found a solution that works perfect to me in less than 600 grams with 3 components. I would like to share with who could be interested

1)I bought a samsung galaxy note tab s2 265 grams, super amoled screen 365 euro, 414 ppi definition, really fast. There I have kobo, kindle, fbreader, mantano moon+reader, with dictionaries colordict, cora.. I can see the coverage of my books on the sun, scroll demanding pdf really fast, finding notes and whatever i need. Also the roundabout 3000 digital books I own( no drm) are (almost)backed up in a way that I can preserve highlight and notes, i namely I found a solution, but still have to implement it. Also, when I am on the go, or just want to lay on the bed, this magnificent(8.0) inches tablets allow me to see movies and tv series on the bed, train, or wherever I am

2)Yotaphone 2 for 275 euro 145 grams, the famous russian phone with android lollipop. It will arrive in few days, and has a double eink lcd display that can be skipped easily. I am planning to put the same software to read the books under the sun, exploiting the fast eink surface, and also to put the podcasts and ebook audio I love while I am on the go or with bike, when using a tablet would be awkward.And no eyestrains of course.

3) a 30 euro power bank of 150 grams from xtorms, in the case the tablet battery needs a recharge on the go. Not the yotaphone, because does not have problems with battery life as I can switch it continuosly in eink mode adding hours.Not to name that google maps can last for hours on the eink part, and all the notifications, watch, forecast are always on.

All in all with 660 euro and 560 grams, I have an ereader eink, a good and durable video player, a telephone and a tablet android, while before, with an amount of money much bigger, I had an ereader+coverage+ telephone+tablet + adapters and cable that needed a backpack, while now I can manage to put the telephone in one trouser pocket, the power bank in another, and the tablet( really thin, in whatever jacket)

I am curious to know if you like my decision and if you have a similar framework.
You are very serious.
