I have a Kobo... I don't remember the model name. But the thing I like best about it, is that I never had to sign into anything to use it. (There is a sign-in/create account screen, but this is easily bypassed if you know how to edit an sqlite file.) Once I have an ebook in DRM-free ePub, I just plug it into my computer, copy it over in the file manager, and then just start reading. No Calibre or any other special software needed.

You can also just add "SideloadedMode=true" to your "Kobo eReader.conf" to achieve that. This removes the "Home" and "Discover" tabs as well, defaulting to the clean "My Books" tab instead.
