I’ve got a kindle keyboard 3 and want to know if there’s anything better out now. My main requirement is being able to load in my own content and have a nice cover/case

I don’t care about apps or web browsers, but it would be nice to have something that is easy to sync or upload data to.

While I really dislike Amazon I can email ebooks including pdfs and epubs direct to my kindle, I don't even need to go get it and plug it in and I can do this from my phone if I want.

If I have something really funky I can use calibre to convert and then email, or if it's really big I can always plug it in and transfer directly.

There are a lot of reasons to not like Amazon products but the kindle is actually pretty good considering who makes it.
