So my Kindle PW3 recently died (rip) and I'd like to get a new dedicated E-Book reader.

I mostly read books from my Calibre library and I found send-to-kindle to be a bit clunky so I don't think a kindle would be the right thing for me, and even though I can sideload the books via USB I'd prefer not to. I also have calibre-web set up for my library and was thinking that maybe there's a reader which supports OPDS so I can download books from my library directly onto the device. Storage isn't a concern here as I just delete books I read.

A quick search e-readers found me:
- the Kobo Nia
- the 2022 Kindle or (although I really don't know if I wanna get a kindle again)
- the Tolino Shine
- the Tolino Page 2

Does anyone own these devices and sideloads books? What is your experience? Any other recommendations?
