Preferably not a Kindle because I dislike Amazon spyware but if it must be then it must be.
My use case is downloading PDFs and epubs onto my phone and transferring them to the eink display.

Is it really any less friendly? The play store is a couple steps, but without it you just use the QR code to load books in and can read them right in the default library with the default reader, which isn’t really good enough for me when android exists, but it’s as good as the kindle.
And the kindle is slow as absolute hell. Loading a book takes forever, navigating your library takes forever. I was reasonably happy with my Kindle Oasis before moving to the boox max, which I chose for the huge display, not Android. But it’s so much more responsive and from looking at current demo units that hasn’t changed.
I meant in general user experience isn’t quite as intuitive. Things like the settings are just more complicated and not clear (at least comparing to my original kindle paperwhite). The refresh speeds and backlight in particular are both somewhat important settings that could be implemented better.
The nice part is that they could essentially eliminate the need for their phone since they can download directly from wherever they get their ebook files on the device.
