What's the best e-ink display these days for reading?
You can find e-readers with 10.3" displays, 227 PPI, double front-lit (warm and cold, you can mix them for the best experience, work independently), full android on the device.
To be precise, I'm talking about the Onyx Boox Note series (note 2, note 3, note air) that I picked after my previous kindles and pocketbook. It's awesome.
Android is adapted for the best experience with its unique features, you can use any application in google play, and the screen is so good in "speed mode" that you can browse the web and even watch youtube. Stylus for notes, and you can buy a "paperlike" protector for the screen.
For now, it's the best one from around five different e-readers that I have before.
If you want to take notes, there is Remarkable 2. You can check PocketBookt InkPad Color, Onyx Nova Color, Onyx Poke2 Color, and Kobo if you wish for color display.
Check this blog for, there are excellent comparisons and reviews for almost every model you can find on the market https://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/

Thank you for opening my eyes.
But has Onyx fixed the dithering, optimizing for less pixel switching?
I have been played with using EPD for video for years: very usable, but the ghosting can be a problem.
The implementations of the firmwares around the Max2 had the issue of using the Floyd-Steinberg dithering only, which changes the dot status too frequently for EPD (where dot switch is very costly in energy/battery). For video, you want a dithering algorithm that is very conservative on the dots. (I was tempted to develop a video player following those principles, but time constraints did not permit.)
