The Mrs. has a Kindle that is still working just fine, but it is 12-13 years old. Given that age, she's starting to think ahead about something not-Amazon after I told her about sideloading going away in their newest line of Kindles. (Edit to clarify, after the reply below: yes, Amazon content.)

I have an 11th gen Kindle and she wonders if there is something like that in the Kobo line. Smaller in the hand, decent lighting, good battery life, fairly simple device overall.

She also prefers to side load books after downloading them, rather than connecting the device by wifi.

Kobo users, what do you suggest and why? Thanks much.
