Choose the ecosystem, then the device.
Where you buy and borrow books matters more than any spec. Kindle has the largest store and Kindle+. Kobo reads EPUB natively and borrows from libraries. Android E Ink runs every app. Paper tablets are for writing.
Kindle
Amazon’s readers: the biggest ebook store, Kindle+ (formerly Kindle Unlimited), Audible over Bluetooth, and Libby borrowing for US readers.

Rakuten Kobo’s readers open EPUB natively, borrow library books through built-in OverDrive, and sell books through the Kobo store. Strong choice if you buy from many stores or borrow a lot.
