Onyx Boox Nova Air Tablet
Best portable e-reader for mobile readers and note-takers.

By pairing a paper-like display with an open Android ecosystem, it gives you total freedom to annotate your library, though you’ll have to trade the distraction-free simplicity of a closed system for that versatility.
