I use a moaan inkpalm. I love it. It's the size of a small phone, and super light. Runs android, but some weird Chinese android without Google services. Which is fine because it's far too underpowered for anything other than koreader. Battery's fine, as long as you keep WiFi mostly off. I use syncthing to sync my books over from my phone, which has koreader as well, so I can read on either device. I also use wallabag, and koreader automatically fetches any articles I want to read.
I have to talk about the size. I don't have a lot of big chunks of time for reading anymore. It being so small means I can keep it with me all the time. If i'm waiting for my family at a store or whatever, I can get a few minutes of reading in. I've been able to read a lot more, and specifically, it's let me read more books and waste less time on reddit. I was worried about it being too small, but it's not. It fits plenty of text on the screen at one time. It's not as luxurious as a recent kindle, but it's a whole lot more useful. Oh, and the backlight is pretty great too.
