I'm sure there are applications that read epubs that I could install on any laptop or tablet, but I prefer a device that was designed specifically for this purpose. Unfortunately, I'm not very knowledgeable about such things.

Kobo readers work very well with Calibre. You can even sync metadata, collections and series info automatically. The Kobo Utilities plugin and the KoboTouch Extended driver may come in handy.
As to books from other stores, it's easy to sideload them if they have no DRM, and Kobo supports the Adobe DRM. For Amazon books it's somewhat more complicated, as you need to remove the DRM and convert them. Forget Barnes&Noble, as far as I know, they no longer let you download the files and you can't install the Nook app on a Kobo or a Kindle.
