Also its great for reading old scanned pdf sources. The Likebook Mars is also Android 6, I think, but I don't know much about it. I prefer Onyx over Boyue based on previous bad experiences with an older Boyue model, but YMMV.
Regarding the kindle app, why not just dedrm and sideload, or just read on a kindle? For overdrive maybe the kobo or kindle will work. For things like gutenberg etc, learn to convert and sideload etc. Its just a thought.

I have used calibre in the past and I'm familiar with sideloading books. I'd just like to make the process as efficient as possible since I work 80-100 hours a week. I really just want to be able to access the bulk of my books from the ereader without being tethered to the computer.
I will look into automating the process as much as possible with Calibre, apparently there is a lot of functionality that I never explored.
I get most of my books from my local library via OverDrive. Not all of them are available on Kindle, which is why I'd prefer an Android device or a non-Kindle device. I read about Kobo having OverDrive access built in, but was limited to books that Kobo has for sale in it's marketplace. I haven't really looked to see if my recent reads were also available on Kobo, but it might be worth the investment. I also borrow books from multiple libraries with OverDrive, which can easily be handled with the app.
I really just want a solution that will allow me to read as many books as possible with as little effort as possible.
