Reading mode shortcuts for people who dont like focus modes

I find having 2 icons for these shortcuts on my homescreen makes it easier to switch in and out of my preferred reading display settings (for books, manga, ao3 on browser etc). Its at least faster than having to switch focus modes. Here’s on and off

I've mostly been reading on my ipad and phone for years now, but seriously want to get into reading on an e-ink screen.

Here's what the kind of usecase i want

- ao3 (ideally i want to be able to read from browser)

- access to a google drive folder where i can

- OPTIONAL ability to download books from ao3, ann*'s arch*ve, oce*ans pdf > then change the covers separately (if possible without needing calibre but its not life ending if i need to use it)

Here are the available options for me as of rn

2nd hand ppw 11th gen

PROS

- lots of listings for the green variant (my favorite color)

- more affordable, i can get it rn if i wanted to

- simpler, more user-friendly interface

- superior screen

- more portable

- better battery life

CONS

- i abhor the kindle ecosystem

- idk if jailbreaking will be enough for the type of flexibility that i want (if you guys have any experience w jailbreaking that would be lovely thank you)

- i heard they can be finicky too once jailbroken, and can even revert to original status and you can lose your files on it (can anyone confirm??)

2nd hand boox go 7

PROS

- android (fairly familiar to me)

- a lot more flexible

- i know I'll be able to do all the things i want on it

- physical buttons on the front

CONS

- 3x the price, I'll have to save for a few months more

- worse screen

- overall larger device (less portable)

- more set up involved, like theyre not good straight from the box

Basically, i want to know if a jailbroken ppw is good enough for my usecase.
