Off topic, but you seem likely to have opinions: If I was looking for a device to read in/before bed (ideally not a backlit screen) that would be used for more than just text (comics, tabletop rpg pdf content that would contain tables and illustrations, etc), are there any obvious choices, or things to look for? I’m comfortable jailbreaking, or even performing minor hard mods, but I haven’t really shopped for an ereader before so I frankly have no idea what to look for

The issue lies in power. Lit screen or not, the device needs to be able to call up 250GB or more for a comic collection. For that, I haven’t found an ebook reader barring BOOX products, which are higher-end, luxury Android ereaders with power to match their cost.
A Kindle 4 is a great ereader with a lot of life left - if you like books. Manga snd comics?… stick to a modern ereader or a tablet.
