These are the ones I read on the most:

Likebook Mars - My main ereader for nighttime reading, exercise reading, and manga. It is my only ereader with warm lighting, and its larger size makes it more suitable for reading on the exercise bike or treadmill and also for reading manga. I read books mainly with the Kindle app or the Moon+ Reader app. The latter is much more customizable and user-friendly, and I sometimes strip books of DRM to read them with this app. I also use it with manga apps, web browsers, and music apps.

Kindle DX Graphite - I use this for some books with illustrations or special formatting that works better with a larger screen. I'm using it for a book of Chess problems, some Dummies books, some DK books, and some books in the Introducing series, among others. Since my first DX broke, I treat this one more delicately. So, despite its larger size, I do not use it on the treadmill, whose vibrations might break something.

Kindle Touch - My best ereader for books with lots of footnotes. Clicking on a footnote goes directly to the footnote section, which I prefer over a pop-up window that shows only the first paragraph of a footnote. I also like to scan future footnotes to see which one will require actual reading, then skip footnotes that are just references. I also use various Active Content apps. I mainly use Utility Kit for keeping an exercise log.

Kindle Paperwhite 4 - A good ereader for daytime reading. I avoid it at night, because it lacks warm lighting. I like how well it handles fonts. While I can use custom fonts on my Kindle Touch, this has much better support for custom fonts. I can install any number of fonts with any number of weights, and besides adjusting font size, I can adjust font weight.

These are the ones I read on the least:

Kindle Fire 8 HD - When the occasional book uses color, I'll sometimes turn to this device. This is useful when a book on programming uses syntax highlighting, or a book contains color photographs. However, I normally avoid reading on this device, as it is not as comfortable.

Kobo 2 - My first ereader. I hardly use this device, but I do have some unfinished Kobo books, and I don't like the Kobo Android app.

iPad 2 - I sometimes read comics on this, but I usually don't. I use it more for web browsing than for book reading.

Nook Simple Touch - This is rooted, and I mainly use it as an Android tablet. Although the Android version is old, it is useful for a checklist app I use for shopping lists and sets of exercises. It's better than the Checklist app on the Kindle Touch, and it lets me have more lists. I also have some logic games I sometimes play on it. Although I did try it out as an ereader, it lost my place too many times and didn't look as nice as my Kindle Touch.
