I would. Having Android just really expands what the devices can do. Like I can sync it with Onedrive where I keep all my books and papers which is not possible with Kobo for example. It I can use both the Kindle and Kobo apps. I can read that one digital CRC textbook I have in their shitty app.
If you want a cheap, just to read ePub ereader with the
occasional PDF get a Kobo Clara. It will do mobi too, but not DRM'd or later Amazon formats.

I tried using a 7.8" Kobo Aura One for PDFs, research papers in particular. With how often you need to put papers on and off during the course of research side loading over USB gets extremely tiresome fast and 8GB is too small for lots of eBooks and PDFs.
Forma does offer a 32GB model, but you save like $30 over an Oynx while getting way less. Built in PDF support is also limited and if you really want KOReader it works on Android devices as well.
