The Amazon Fire is just an ordinary Tablet, using customised Android with an Amazon store. A Lenovo is better as it's a regular Android tablet at a good price, about 1/4 of an iPad. The Amazon Fire is cheap, but much inferior to an iPad and certainly not easier to read.

A 7.8" or 10" Boyue Likebook will let you install the vitalsource app. I use my 7.8" Mars with Android BorrowBox and Google Playbooks. The Kobo Elipsa won't run vitalsource app. The 7.8" Mars might have the same number of pixels as the 10" models. I use 3.5 strength reading glasses. No doubt for larger than "A5" equivalent PDFs, the larger pixels on the P10 is an advantage. But the 7.8" Mars is cheaper and lighter.

No eInk is great for web browsing, but it depends on the website.

For "ordinary" ebooks I use the Kobo Libra and really only use the Mars for larger PDFs, PDF scans and the books only easily to read on an associated Android App.

I use Calibre on Linux with both to manage content. Calibre is also on Mac and Windows.
