Though a 7.8" Lifebook Mars is cheaper than a Kobo Forma in Ireland via online and has a very good PDF reader, but I installed koreader on it for epubs. The Google Android framework can be turned on or off, but not all playstore apps work sensibly on eink. Borrowbox and Google Playbooks are OK, Kobo and Kindle install, but I've not tested them yet. My favorite Android Solitaire is unusable, but Jota note editor works fine with BT keyboard or virtual touch. The jack socket or BT earphones work for music player or audio books. Google Playbooks and Playstore vanish when Framework is off. The koreader needs downloaded (direct with built in browser) rather than ancient version in the Boyue App Store.

I do still use the Kobo Libre for epub annotation. It's the best and best value 7". I have a Kindle PW3 and have used the PW4 which IMO is inferior to PW3 unless you need BT audio. PW3 does work with a €6 USB audio stick and €4 adaptor with extra Amazon SW download.

The Kobos work best for collections and series and also with Calibre (two choices for Annotation/Bookmark/Highlight to PC/Laptop).
