Arrow E-reader with drag&drop functionality and no wifi? [epub, pdf, mobi]

Hi,

I was pondering getting my first e-reader ever. Normally I read books on paper or on my phone with moon reader+ (but I don't find this solution ideal with glaring/reflections and a small screen size).

Here are my requirements:
-Drag & drop functionality (connect to PC and load up epub/PDF/mobi files)
-No need to sign up for an account to a walled service in order to use basic functionality of the e-reader
-Backlight
-Can be purchased in the EU

I don't need/want:
-Wifi capabilities
-Bluetooth
-Audio
-Wireless charging
-Ads

I assume a Kindle would require to login with some type of Amazon account (and I assume you can't just load up files willy-nilly). If so, that breaks the 1st and 2nd requirement. If I'm wrong in my assumption, please let me know.

Another one I've seen talked about is a Kobo Clara HD, but don't know if that meets my requirements.

What brands/models would you recommend? I'm open to any brand or reader, so fire up below.

Thanks!
