What device for koreader?

Hi all,

I have been quite happily using koreader on a Kindle Paperwhite 5 (11th generation) for maybe about a year. The only thing is, two of my Paperwhites have broken in the last year. For the first, the screen stopped working and amazon replaced the device. For the second, the device is stuck in a bootloop.. amazon have again replaced it, but the replacement comes with a newer firmware and so I cant run koreader on it.

I dont trust this particular Kindle model, perhaps I'm unlucky, but I always keep them in a case and am careful with them. So I'm looking for a different device to run koreader on.

I'm not averse to using a different kindle model (eg. a Kindle Oasis).. but I guess I'd have to find one on eBay with older firmware. I was mostly considering a kobo but heard that the libra 2 and other more recent Kobo devices have hardware-related instability issues.

What devices are you using and what do you recommend?

Many thanks!
