I dug around in the back of the closet and found two ancient artifacts: My 2007 Sony PRS-500 reader, and my 2012 Nook Color. The Sony was an instant disappointment back when I bought it. I read (I think) three books on it and threw it in the back of the closet. However, when I pulled it out just now, the battery took a charge, and it booted right up. Boy, that display sucks even worse now than I thought it did in 2007.
The Nook was better, but when I bought a Kindle Paperwhite in 2014, I retired the Nook Color and put a Cyanogen micro-SD in it and used it as a tablet for awhile. Then it, too, retired to the closet.
My first ebook reader was actually my IBM X41 convertible tablet PC. Finding content was difficult, but as a reader it was just fine. I scrapped it years ago when it started acting flaky. I now have a Lenovo Yoga convertible laptop, and if I need to read PDFs, it's a big help. But my device of choice these days is a Samsung Galaxy Tab S3.
