If you don't mind converting your epubs to azw3 books, a used Kindle might be a good alternative. On recent Kindle models (5th generation Kindle Paperwhite AKA PW1 or better) the user interface language can be changed to Chinese. It also seems to come with some kind of Chinese keyboard with predictive text support. Registered Kindle owners can also download a couple of Chinese dictionaries for free.

I don't speak Chinese, but IIRC, the GUI and the IME is in Simplified Chinese. (I attached a couple of screenshots from my Kindle PW2 as a reference.)
