I don’t know how relevant this is to you but I was looking at getting a Boox since it would easily let me read my Kindle and Kobo books on a single device without any hassle. However, it achieves this by running their apps so the books are segregated. There’s no one library with all your books. Your Kindle books are only on the Kindle app, your Kobo books are only on the Kobo app, your library books are only on the Libby app.
It sounded really tedious to have to flip between a bunch of different apps to track all my books so I decided to just stick with Kobo.
The library lends e-books, I have had good luck with their selections. I try not to buy books and still end up with more of them than I want. Mostly because I like graphic novels on paper.

Hmm, it sounds like you need to use something like Calibre to export all your books to a single standard format.
This is why I refuse to buy e-books with DRM. Amazon should have no say in how, where, or when I read my books.
ebooks.com has a searchable DRM-free section, so that’s my go-to: https://www.ebooks.com/en-us/drm-free
For anything not available without DRM, I will pirate it without a second thought.
I just pirate everything I want to read.
I bought children of time and the subsequent books on paperback and immediately downloaded epubs
