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.

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

Request for beta testers: Manabi Reader 3.0, offline-friendly reader with Anki integration for iPhone / iPad / macOS
I eventually did most of my epub book reading with tsutsu reader and Yomichan, which was especially nice because you could import a variety of dictionaries, and instantly make Anki cards. At this point I was mainly using J-J monolingual dictionaries, and I needed multiple dictionaries as some words or idioms only appeared in certain dictionaries.
