Recommend eReader for a self-hosted Kavita server? (alien.top)

I'm brand new to eBooks and have started building a large collection that I'm planning to self-host on a Kavita library. I haven't yet purchased an eReader. I don't need note-taking capabilities. I just want the best eReading experience with my own self-hosted library and am willing to pay for a better experience. Appreciate your patience with my noob question and thank you for your recommendations.
