Hi all

I haven't been here for a while because I have been happy with my Kobo H2O using koreader for years now. I had to replace the battery a while ago and over time it has become very slow, but apart from that the reflow works pretty well for PDFs which is my main need.

However, the screen has just died. So now I need to buy something else. I'm sure that things have moved on a lot in terms of speed and capabilities. A good PDF reader (probably with a reliable and quick reflow if necessary) is the primary need, and taking notes either on the PDF or in separate documents would also be useful. Wifi file sharing would be very nice for syncing my library but if USB only that's not a big problem. I won't be buying any books through the reader and I want it to support all the standard formats for my big library of textbooks and research papers. I would also like it to have a nice user interface, be supported for a decent amount of time into the future and of course have a good e-ink screen.

The usual suspects are Kobo, Onyx, Kindle, Remarkable, Pocketbook, others... but I can't actually keep up with the number of new models!

Any independent advice including pros and cons from the knowledgeable here would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Michael
