I'm just re-discovering the 2015 Kindle paper white I bought years ago and had stopped using...because overall I had started reading less. I'm using it with a new appreciation for how great of a form factor it is for my hands + a pop socket. Carry it with me everywhere, tucks into my jacket pocket or backpack when I'm heading to work.

I'm not the biggest fan of Amazon, but I load it with Calibre so where possible I try to get my ebooks from elsewhere.

Anyway Im wondering what you all are reading on and why. What're the latest advances in ereader technology since 2015? Am I missing out on something?

I have a Kobo Libra 2 and I think the only extra features are that it's waterproof and you can do audiobooks on it via Bluetooth (you might be able to do that on Kindle too, I'm not sure).

I went with Kobo because I'm not a fan of Amazon and because I wanted to access a subscription service through it. With the optional sleep cover I never turn it off so it's always ready to go.
