Currently using an unregistered Kindle Paperwhite (3rd gen) for sideloaded mobi. I really like the hardware (300 ppi & front-light) and the price was right, too. Problem is it doesn't support collections unless the device is registered to Amazon.

I'm looking for an e-ink reader with similar hardware to the Paperwhite (212 ppi is acceptable, maybe ~$150 price point?), one that doesn't need to be registered in order to work. Primarily, I would like better support for collections and/or integration with Calibre.

All books will be DRM-free epub (or could be any format that Calibre supports) and will be sideloaded via USB.

Thanks in advance!
