I have:

1. An Elonex complete with bust screen (I fell asleep on it...)
2. An Aluratek Libre got in a hurry to replace the Elonex (it was cheap and at the time i was short of cash)
3. A Kobo Touch which sort of works (I have too many books and the Mac decided it didn't like a device with a bigger external 32GB SD card than than the 2GB internal one)
4. An 8GB Icarus which the Mac stopped liking as well with the 32GB SD card and Icarus went out of business. Still works, but is now retired.
5. A 32GB Kobo Forma

I also have 2 iPads (a mini 2 and a 9.7" Pro), an iPhone and a Google Nexus 7 which probably still works. Technically the second iPad belongs to my partner but the SIM stopped working (a problem with the connection) so he got a replacement and passed the 9.7" onto me (I use my phone as a hotspot if required). My original iPad still works but won't take iOS 13.

Some gadgeteering here, but bearing in mind my first device was a palm m500...
