Hi folks:

I have:

* Jailbroken PW 4 I like because of its size, running koreader and syncthing to keep my library of epubs up to date on it
Samsung S7+ 12.7" Android tablet nice for drawing on the screen taking notes and reading longer articles]
Samsung S21 Ultra smartphone

I primarily read epubs, though I do have a lot in my Audible library, but often listen mostly on my phone + bluetooth earbuds. I read pretty exclusively with koreader on all of the above devices.

What I'm missing right now is a way to read RSS entries for a few websites/blogs I follow and long articles easily on an e-ink type screen.

In addition, while I love the big size of the android tablet, it's harder on my eyes than the e-ink screen.

I think I'd keep the Paperwhite as the form factor is nice, for travel, and I like having the option of pulling from the Amazon book library if need be, as well as Audible integration.

So ideally, what I'm looking for would be:

bigger screen than the 6" kindle,
e-ink screen
writing not a huge priority as i've scratched that itch with samsung notes + the s7+ tablet, but would be a nice to have
koreader is a must so i could read on any device
syncthing would be a must too
i already use pocket so that integration would be nice too
ideally could pull rss entries from a few blogs and have it up to date daily or on demand
would be nice if i could use some sort of remote page turn hardware device. on my tablet i've rigged the spen to be a next page/previous page feature which is very fun/handy along with the tablet stand arm i read most of the time with
overdrive/libby checkout would be a nice feature
would love a better system than koreader has for exporting highlighted passages/notes

where does that leave me? the forma? something else?
