Currently I have a Boox e-ink reader, but I learned that they don’t last that much and their post-sale support is the worst. I see that this device will fail in the next 6-12 months, what e-ink readers (that it is NOT A KINDLE) would you recommend? I’m interested on reading both .epub and whatever is the current kindle app format, along with PDFs, being able to add notes is not super critical.

recommendations?

    I’ve used a Boox Nova Air for the last ~2½ years without issues. I bought it to use as a fast ~8in KOReader platform and it’s great for that purpose. I can’t speak about reliability issues as I haven’t had any.

    After sale support seems kind of crummy so I’d buy using a credit card that offers a 1 or 2y warranty of its own as part of your card agreement.

    The devices that seem to have the most problems with displays cracking are the 10 and 13in models, they seem like they’re significantly more fragile than a standard phone or tablet.
