Dedicated eReader That Can Use Kindle/Audible (Immersion Reader Combo) AND Libby

It's quite an interesting conundrum, but it is a good topic to discuss those future users could also gain information on.

The basic premise is that I wish to have a single dedicated device that is not a conventional tablet or phone to listen to and read ebooks on. An actual Reading device basically. So things like Amazon Readers and Kobo readers would be ideal, but because of my audiobook and ebook sources, I run into a problem.

Here's that problem:

I use the Libby library service to borrow ebooks to read and listen to, and also keep an extensive kindle and audible library that I like to use the immersion reading feature with.

But Libby is only available on Kobo readers, but not on amazon ones. Additionally, the Kindle/Audible Immersion Reading feature is only available on android and iPhone kindle app, so that eliminates the Kobos.

So now I'm stuck as there appears to not be anything that can perform that is a dedicated Readers, so is phone and conventional tablets the only choices?

      Ended up getting this on its current sale:

      https://www.elite-electronics.com.au/Computer_IT/Pen_Tablet_…

      The solution to my problem was the only way to get all those things I wanted, was basically to find an android powered ebook. So it rules out kobos and kindles, leaving a narrow band of independent brands.

      the BOOX brand does the job, you can choose any size you want.

      Alternatively, I was recommended the Boyue Likebook series of readers, but at the time I was unable to find any at a reasonable sale price.
