Pocketbook Touch HD and HD 2 have a 6" 300ppi screen and microSD slot to expand the storage 32GB. The only difference between HD and HD 2 is that the 2 has tinted frontlight called Smartlight.

Any non-Kindle with microSD slot (or even with no slot) will allow you to "sideload" because this is the main kind of loading for them. Kobo and Onyx and Pocketbook are the most available non-Kindle devices, in that order I guess, and they are not centred around their own cloud service the way Kindle is. They are devices that know that people can already have an existing e-library from other sources.
