Current Kindles are vastly improved over the older models. For the money, the Paperwhite is a terrific device. The new Oasis is top flight IMO. The front lighting on the Oasis, Voyage, and Paperwhite make reading easy regardless of ambient light.
The Oasis is waterproof, has more storage, a 7” screen, it’s a really nice reader.
I’ve had several Kindles, starting with the K2, the first Paperwhite, the 2nd gen Paperwhite. The 2017 Oasis is my new favorite.

it's not doing it one at a time that bothered me.
i just remember the conversions being very inconsistent a lot of times when converting pdf and epub into mobi with calibre. perhaps it's gotten better over the years.
>> how do you like your kobo? I find that most of what i read are either in epub or pdf.
so i guess my deciding factor largely depends on:
1) how good and "consistent" is conversion these days for
PDF, EPUB => MOBI or
MOBI => EPUB
if it's extremely good and consistent and the paragraphs, margin, spacing never get messed up, then it just comes down to the technology between kindle, kobo, sony, etc.
but if conversion are like what it used to (which isn't very reliable) then i would probably just get a kobo or a reader that supports epub as most of my contents are in epub and wont require me to convert.
