Onyx Boox e-reader
Mostly cause I got a good workflow going and I buy most of my ebooks from amazon. I use stuff like this anki add-on to mine sentences (although I have kinda stopped doing this lately) and got this jmdict dictionary for kindle which is pretty nice. I could probably set up something with the Onyx Boox reader and yomichan like others have mentioned but at this point I'm too lazy. Also the kindle is smaller and more portable, the Boox I have is slightly larger and better for manga though.

Thoughts on buying a kindle to get more reading done in Japanese?
Physical kindle is better because https://github.com/jmdict-kindle/jmdict-kindle will work much better (it works on Android too but does not support verbs well)

My tips for using Mushoku Tensei as Japanese light novel reading practice, having completed one volume a week for two months
I frequently found that the Kindle's Japanese-Japanese dictionary was too hard to understand (without a second dictionary), and the Japanese-English dictionary simply didn't recognise words. I finally waved the flag on learning via a Japanese-Japanese dictionary and tried out jmdict-kindle. It's way better! It recognises generally more words than either of the two dictionaries from before, displays the pitch accent (I cannot overstate how valuable this is for your speaking), and shows some handy example sentences.

A better dictionary on Kindle
I use this one which does its job well for me, especially that it detects inflected verbs and it's Japanese-English.

What was the first book you read in Japanese?
for manga, I like kanjitomo for OCR, and for reading text on my phone I use a browser extension to generate epub from WNs or otherwise try and find an epub, and then use the typhon-kai reader (https://github.com/dajimenezja/typhon/releases) in android which can do dictionary lookups (I tried kiwi browser+ttu and also jidoujisho and both were pretty scuffed (Super laggy on large books, and triggered dictionary lookups while I was swiping to scroll down which was super annoying))

I read 200 books in Japanese!
https://github.com/dajimenezja/typhon/releases if you're ok to manually install an APK. A bit clunky but it has the fastest dictionary lookups of any app. I read my first 20 books on this.
