Hi all! I avoided getting an epaper device for years out of spite for the lock-in, DRM, tracking etc. direction of the market. But I really hate reading on my laptop screen. I want to spend my time looking at e-ink and not a glaring, fatiguing screen. I want to find an article online and then quickly and easily switch to reading it on an e-ink device to get away from my laptop.

By the way, just a thought, you want an e-ink reader for reading articles. I think the easiest way to do that is probably Kobo + Pocket.
I realize privacy is a concern but converting articles to ebook is often a pain (if there's no readily available Calibre recipe). If there's too much friction, you'll likely end up just using the laptop instead of your e-reader.
Another thing, consider a tablet. I know you wanted to get away from LCD but I find tablets generally have better displays compared to low-end to mid-range notebooks (sharper, better viewing angles, reduced glare, etc). Tablets also handle PDF far better than e-ink.
