Android does offer a lot of benefits beyond just Irish libraries...can't read a Marvel Unlimited subscription on a Kobo or the newspaper or that random textbook stuck in its publisher's app. And you can easily use whatever cloud storage provider or Android Nearby Share to easily move documents from one device to the reader without going through a PC.

You and Quoth both mentioned Irish Libraries. Are you both in Ireland, or is that something that's available elsewhere? (I think people used to get free memberships to the Singapore library system worldwide, or something like that, which is why I'm asking.)
I'm in the US so Kobo Overdrive integration would probably be a big perk. I've seen people mention the Libby app, so I hope Overdrive will continue to be available for library borrowing if I do get a Kobo.
Thank you Salamanderjuice and everyone else who has replied with advice. I am still searching and trying to sort out all of the options. The choices and details are overwhelming.
I like the idea of Boox, which I always thought had very nice software, but I've been getting confused about the similar names and features. I will take a closer look at
Boox Nova Air2 and Nova Air C.
If I recall correctly, the color screen in the
Nova Air C is faster but more muted, which doesn't bother me... but I do like the higher ppi of the color in the
Bigme Galy (I don't think the slower speed will be an issue for my use.)
The price for the
Nova Air C is high enough that I think I would probably be better off to just pay a little more for the higher specs of the
Bigme Galy. (If I end up going the color route.)
