This is a device category I have very little knowledge about, but I have a growing collection of PDFs and ebooks and I'd love to have a light weight device to read them on.

Any recommendations? Are they all walled gardens?

I think I can get epub versions of most of the stuff I want to read. When I first started collecting books I had no idea what an epub file was and avoided them.

If the PDFs are mainly just text - the text can be ripped out/converted.

But so many PDFs are complicated. Basically web sites, with forms, embedded images and so on that displaying may be a nightmare.
