I have an android ereader without a wacom layer, my favorite app to use is Moon+ Reader. If you have access to an android device, I strongly recommend trying it out. The customizations allowed are staggering and I can't imagine getting a new device that is unable to run it. KoReader is also great and open source. People don't love the way the animations work on an ereader but you could use the Kindle app as well.

How do you go by syncing your bookmarks with different devices?

Moon+ Reader has a built in cloud sync function and so does KoReader although I can't say more about KoReader as I only keep that installed on my old kobo.

Here's the link I followed to set up cloud sync for reading positions/notes/bookmarks:

Calibre is a very useful piece of software regardless of what ereader you end up with, and there's this feature request about syncing back to calibre too but I haven't personally explored it. https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/3814

One annoying thing I sometimes run into is that if you keep wifi off, you'll have to remember to turn it to sync. But that's understandable.
