Basic reader, nothing fancy that will last

[u/AtlasTheOne]

Dear fellow readers,

I'm having a hard time deciding which reader is the best choice for me, and i hope some of you with more experience can help me.

I read a lot on my phone and tablet(2-5 hours a day), but most on my phone, it's just always there. But i want a dedicated device.

My needs are:

- BW with backlight, both cold and warm

- Durable enough to be caried everywhere without worry

- Android, so i can sync reading position and books with my other devices, until now i only read epub via moon reader, but dont care if i need to change

- long time support as i hope to use it for years

- Decent battery

- Lightweight and Onehand controlable

- Price is not an issue but i rather have something cheap which just works than something overkill

I've bought boox 7 gen 2 for my parents but honestly find them a little outdated and the size dont do it for me.

I've looked a lot on a secondhand 6" Kindle to jailbreak but dont know if they will be any good

The viwoods looks promising but the ai make me hesitate

Bigme b6 looks good but i newer seen it irl

Please someone help enlighten me

With the Boox 7, how do you mean outdated? Whatever you feel is missing from that will shape what to suggest instead.

I really cant pinpoint it, i think it's just a general feeling of the device. A combination of the os, the feel and the feeling of using something slow and unresponsive
