  I’ve got a Hisense A5 and reading is surprisingly nice on it. Although this looks even smaller?

  Also regarding the overall idea - just get a Kobo and put Koreader on it, then sideload any book format you like.

    I do have a kobo! It’s pretty good. What’s Koreader? Is that software to jailbreak it?

      Yeah, you don’t even have to jailbreak it, you can just install it. It’s a bit fiddly but not too bad github.com/…/Installation-on-Kobo-devices

      Koreader is available from the Play store if you have an android phone, you can try it out first. Its very customisable, I spend hours tweaking the settings because that’s my idea of fun 😂
