I want to get a Xiaomi Inkpalm 5. Cost ~US$125.

Chinese interface is manageable so I only have a few requirements that will make it happen. Is it possible?

1. Can load/sideload and read english language epubs without any device mods. Wirelessly is preferred. Highlights and annotations retrieval a benefit.
2. No need to physically connect to another device except perhaps during setup.

Have never physically connected my Kobo Clara HD to a computer, do sideload books wirelessly and hoping can do something similar with Xiaomi Inkpalm 5. Have not device mod’ed Clara and don’t use calibre, Koreader, etc.
