    Although the device that aligns most with your requirements is the Kobo Sage, I would ask you to consider the Kobo Forma, because though it has been discontinued, has a superior battery. It doesn't have USB-C, only micro USB.

    I've had a Forma since 2018, and the use and abuse it has gone through is remarkable. It's always with me, under any weather conditions and in places like swimming pools, beaches, campings... Still works as perfectly as the very first day.

    I also own a Remarkable 2, for my studies. While it's amazing for reading PDFs and annotating things, it's far from perfect for reading normal books, or for reading for an extended period of time while holding it. So yes, reading manga in it is awesome, but you give up the comfort factor of any other reading material.

    Edit: RM2 technically reads .epub files, but it struggles a lot with them

    Damn, such a detailed and considered answer! I don't drink because I take a medicine that interacts poorly with alcohol. My friends never laugh or joke about it but when we meet new people it gets tiring. Also my extended family complains relentlessly about me being "weak" for drinking non alcoholic stuff.

    It's stupid, but it gets tiring.

    I had no idea about the ice thing, thank you very much!!

    Oddly enough, both alcoholic beers and alcohol free ones taste the same to me, which is to say, terrible. But thank you for your input!

    Hello! I live in an area where a great part of socializing is done by going to bars and having a drink (or several). I don't drink alcohol, and always get weird stares after the third Nestea/Aquarius, plus I get bored from drinking the same thing over and over again. Sometimes the places we go to have the option of alcohol-free cocktails, but it's not the usual thing.

    So, what are you suggestions of other drinks I could order, that do not contain alcohol? Things that I could drink in hot weather, day or night? I'm open to all sorts of flavours.

    The ones I have listed:

    • Coke
    • Tea
    • Coffee
    • Aquarius
    • Nestea

    Thank you all for your help in advance!

    I have tried them all (for Android) and my favorite is Voyager. It's FOSS, intuitive and as far as I know, self hostable (with limitations). The iOS style may put some people off, but they are developing an Android style too.

    Here's the GitHub in case you want to take a look at it: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager
