This is a device category I have very little knowledge about, but I have a growing collection of PDFs and ebooks and I'd love to have a light weight device to read them on.

Any recommendations? Are they all walled gardens?

what sort of PDFs do you need to read? are they comic books, illustrated magazines, scientific articles? do you need to take hand written notes or do markups?

Often older books I have accumulated are PDFs, with poor ocr. That's mostly where the PDFs come from. I know there are probably better eBook versions that I can find to replace the old book scans.
