In that case you might consider one of the Kobo models (6", 6.8", 7.8", 8"). If you're familiar with using epubs on Sony devices then Kobos shouldn't be too alien. I made the Sony -> Kobo switch about 5 years ago.
If you want you can manage Collections manually on the device without enabling wi-fi. However, if you're a calibre user you can save a lot of effort by managing your Collections in calibre and letting the Kobo auto-update each time you connect to calibre via USB.
As standard there is a per-book setting for font-family/font-size/alignment/line-height/margins(L&R). There is a per-font setting for font weight.
Custom fonts can be sideloaded by simple drag-drop to the fonts directory. Changing font weight is only available for the built-in fonts, but there is also a Kobo patch (i.e. hack) which can remove that restriction for those who wish to.
Other benefits for Kobo/calibre users are that more of your calibre metadata can be auto-transferred to the device, e.g. Series, Comments/synopsis, cover thumbnails/screensavers. With a little more effort (
not hacking) you can also set up calibre to transfer things like pagecount or other metadata from your calibre custom columns.
