I'm pretty much the same. Although my e-reader supports generic epub files, so I go to whichever book shop site and look for ebooks.

When I bought my e-reader, I specifically looked for one that wouldn't lock me into their ecosystem too much.

Could you suggest me an e-reader?

I've been using Kobo Libra 2 for more than a year now. It's good for me as I mostly read books. It's black and white and has adjustable (intensity and temperature) backlight. One thing I'd recomend – get a case as well. The screen is rather soft and scraches easily.

Other than that I can't recomend much else since I haven't had anything else. It'll depend very much on your use case: do you need a collored screen, what do you intend to read, comics, PDFs, regular books.

Reading regular books screen size does not matter as much as for PDFs and comics. And for comics colored screen might be a better choise.

My general recomendation: an adjustable backlight is a must, both intensity and temperature, deside on a size and color requirements and start looking for something in your price range. Kobo and Onyx were the brands I looked at first, but there are others.

Thank you for your suggestion. I found an old Android tablet. I used ForceDoze app using Shizuku (temp root) to prolong battery life for 3 days for using 3 hour daily. And using Moonreader + for my books with reading mode and put on a hazy screen protector. It works wonderfully now. Setup was a bit of hassle. But now it's done.
