Wireless sideloading and phone sync are pointless. If you achieve it, it will be by having an Android ereader like meebook/boyue or Boox with rubbish library and book management compared to Kobo.

Wireless charging is a nonsense compared with a 3m USB-C or micro USB cable. Slower, can't read in your hand, less efficient, creates radio interference even though it's inductive. A Dect phone or PMR security radio dock works better than any so called wireless charging.

With a Libra or Sage and Calibre sideloading is no bother. Search finds the page you are at on a different device faster than WiFi sync.

I read 1/3rd to 2 books a day and Calibre + Kobo beats every other ereader. The newer Kobos use USB-C.

I have a Sony PRS-350, four models of Kindle, Boyue Likebook Mars (like a meebook P78) which has Android and KOReader. I've had other ereaders.

For a gadget like an ereader the micro-USB vs USB-C makes no difference at all.

Pocketbook (TTS) or Lithium on phone/tablet can have books managed by Calibre (Android anyway).

Cheap 6": A Kobo Nia
A 7": A Kobo Libra 2

Anything else is FAR worse for finding books on the eReader.
