I currently have four, which is utterly silly.

My daily reader is a Boox Poke 2 - it is possibly the worst screen of the 4 but the Calibre Companion app makes it so easy to keep its library up to date.

I have an original Kobo H20, which still works perfectly but, after sticking with it for over a year I realised I disliked the larger screen. (It has slight cosmetic damage so I never tried to sell it.)

After trying 6" readers from Tolino and Pocketbook (both of which I managed to sell after a while), I bought a Clara HD. This reader has always worked perfectly but my Macbook had a USB problem which kept leading to database corruptions when trying to load books with Calibre. Thus, I bought the Poke 2 as a way of avoiding USB transfer, (I have recently ditched Apple, so the Clara is a reliable option again but my partner now has her eye on it for the rare occasion she can bring herself to read an e- not a paper book),

Finally, I have a second-hand Kindle Voyage. I bought this hoping to be able to jailbreak it, but found I couldn't. It has the best screen quality of them all and I love the page turn buttons (one of the Pocketbook features I did like), but I really dislike the Kindle reading software (I am a sensible margins, page numbers and chapters kind of guy - estimated reading times I find hopeless).

The above ramble was to seek to justify my profligacy, but it really doesn't.
