I personally got an old Android-based Chinese e-reader (Likebook, now called Meebook), but it was 100 euros so it may go out of budget. There’s also Kobo that allows to import your epubs and PDFs. Don’t know much about Kindle to be honest, but I have the impression that it’s the most restrictive platform
I’m very annoyed with my Tolino (EU branding for Kobo). Drag and drop is nice but there’s no way to update metadata (fixing titles or authors for example) and now it often simply doesn’t recognize new epub files which I add.

I’d go with a kobo as mine has been very good to me. Easy drag and drop interface for adding books is very nice.
I’d avoid kindle as they are quire restrictive and while you can jailbreak them it’s a pain in the arse so avoid it of you can.

Consider installing Koreader on it and using that. It is so much better than the stock OS it is hard to express in words.
I did finally do this and oh goodness you’re right. Thanks for reminding me this was an option.
Just don’t get nerd sniped by the high level of customisability because it will eat into your reading time.
I was already familiar with koreader having used it on mobile sometimes, but I am definitely getting sucked into the customisation black hole.
