The best reasons to buy an ereader in order, IMO:
1) Reading PD ebooks. About 90% of my Calibre Library is PD titles. This was a pain for 10+ years before I got an eink ereader.
2) Proofread and annotate without wasting paper and ink/toner. Saved about 5000+ sheets of paper.
3) Buying ebooks. I can read books bought on Kobo or Amazon or Smashwords, or ebooks.com or Google Playbooks via sideloading.
All the bought and PD content on my Kobos, Kindles, Sony and Y-Ben is sideloaded. The only direct content I've used is Libby/Borrowbox from the local Irish Library via apps on Android (Boyue Likebook Mars). But the TBR pile is so huge I may not have used the Library for over a year.
Obviously #2 isn't a big consideration for most people.
Never had spam due to initial registration of Kindle or Kobo. I don't turn on wifi or use sync since as I use Calibre and USB. No need to sync Kindles or Kobos. Vendor sync doesn't work between vendors anyway.
