I've had two 10″ plus ereaders and a 9.7″ ereader. None are in use now, because they are too limited for anything that is no use on 6″ to 8″ dedicated ereaders and heavy to read a novel on.

If you don't have a computer (or an Android Tablet), then you are limited to the Scribe for ebooks from Amazon or the Kobo for ebooks from Kobo. Likely the pocketbook shop is more limited.

If you go for an Android tablet with a matt screen, which are almost like a dedicated black & white ereader, the 10.9″ TCL Nxtpaper 11 is cheaper than the most of the 10 inch plus dedicated ereaders with 32G (Amazon Kindle Scribe, Kobo Elipsa, Pocketbook, Onyx Boox or overpriced niche Bigme, or very limited reMarkable). It will let you buy from Amazon. Kobo, Pocketbook, Smashwords, ebooks.com and Google Playbooks. Its shelf life (pantry life?) is weeks and run time similar to some dedicated ereaders. It has 256 G, SD card slot, audio jack, BT for ear buds, WiFi etc.

Only Barnes & Noble if you are in the USA and easily use 100,000 public domain (free) ebooks, age etc depending on where you live.

The annotation/notebook feature can be ignored on any with it (which is practically every 10″ plus ereader).

The web browsers on dedicated ereaders are awkward to use and can be incompatible with sites of PD (free) or bought ebooks.

None really have adverts except Amazon, and you pay once extra to not have them, and might not apply to Scribe.

Any dedicated ereaders that play audiobooks do it worse than your iPhone and only from associated store, not any audio books.
