Does every option for e-ink devices just suck in a different way?

Kindle is an Amazon walled garden. Kobo and Remarkable e-readers don't have microSD slots and aren't even Android based. The devices that are Android are usually based on Android 13 and probably never going to be upgraded further. Older Onyx devices apparently used passive EMR stylus but recent devices don't. A PocketBook e-reader tries to sell you an "active stylus" powered by a AAA battery but doesn't even mention if it's AES or USI or some tech that's just incompatible with everything else, so it's unclear what cheaper third party styluses would be compatible.

Am I stupid or is there no decent choice that supports an off the shelf passive EMR stylus, a recent Android version, and a simple B&W screen?

You really don't need that much storage for text files.

And have like 8x the battery life because of this.

I upgraded my Kobo Libra 2's internal microSD card to 256GB

the included storage can already store thousands of books, how much shit are you planning on hoarding?

If you are too retarded to move external files onto a kindle same as you'd do with a flash drive, you deserve what's coming to you.
