Also, do any have both cool+warm backlight options?

I have an old Kindle Paperwhite im getting back into using, but open to considering upgraded options

load epubs/format via usb or bluetooth (not interested in the public library/borrowing thing)
warm/cool lighting modes is nice
moddable is cool but not even needing to mod to make interesting customizations/tweaks is better

I got my partner a Kobo Clara Colour. In my view, it has a few killer features: it's not tied to Amazon in any way, it works well with any public libraries that offer e-book lending through Overdrive. It lets you get books from your library without using a computer. It also has a color e-ink screen and seems to have adjustable backlight color.

Im interested more in the "I can load epubs or whatever the generic format of ebooks is" that I get off LibGen or Annas-Archive haha

Like loading with usb cord or bluetooth ;)

I think that pretty much any ereader can do that, since those files are DRM-free?

Some ebook readers, IIRC Amazon and maybe Barnes and Noble (when they had them) restrict sideloading by reducing the amount of storage that can be used for sideloaded books or other restrictions.

Interesting, thanks! I was not aware that they were doing this.

I have a kobo and can send my epubs to it via WiFi on https://send.djazz.se/
Or of course via USB
