Any reader would work if you don't turn on Wi-Fi and don't mind format shifting with Calibre. But, depending on how paranoid you are (and I don't mean that as a criticism), I would suggest a Kobo Clara HD (or any current model Kobo reader).

I initially was going to suggest the Clara or the Nook Glowlight 3 as these are two common readers that have nice, high-resolution screens, blue-reducing front light and have no problem handling ePub.

However with the Nook you have to sign in to a Barnes and Noble account during initial set-up (though you can turn off Wi-Fi afterwards and sideload everything. I do).

Kobo will let you register using a phony account/email address. There are threads in the Kobo forum explaining how to do this.

BTW: For PDF, a cheap tablet is likely better than any e-ink reader. Not sure how large a role PDFs play in your reading experience, but no e-ink reader does a good job on PDFs.
