Question first eReader out of frustration

Hello everyone,

out of frustration with my present situation (documents spread between android phone and ipad, no easy sync, hard to export highlights...) , I am considering buying my first eReader as a central device for all my reading consumption (note: I read already the sticky topic).

I have thought about my use cases and related needs:
- mainly sideloaded epub (few books bought on Amazon), pdf at times, a plus would include articles sent from the web as well;
- highlighting and notes, exported without major bottlenecks (even leveraging third-party elements such as readwise...with the present mess, I'm ok with such services as long as it's doable);
- on the portable side of the dimension spectrum (and battery), or offering a reliable sync with at least android device;
- I'm ok with thinkering with calibre/apprenticealf/terminal commands, but I'd try to avoid a patchwork of half-way baked solutions that might be not consistent with time or content;

The whole idea sparkled from seeing the new Paperwhite and the kind of apparent integration Kindles offer...but being my first eReader and honestly missing a clear vision of the plethora of devices on the market and the elements beyond the hardware that might help me with the use cases above, I ask your kind help to understand and guide in my choice, if possible.

I thank you for your patience!
