I hope you are well. Have a look at Rakuten Kobo e-readers. They have the look and feel of Amazon Paperwhite Kindle readers, which mimic looking at a conventionally printed page, but, obviously, are not owned by Amazon. (Though Rakuten is a big company in its own right.) The Elipsa range actually allows you to make notes on .pdf files if that is important to you. Unlike tablets, you don't have the distraction of multiple apps that do things other than help you to read something.
As for the rest: I have an older Kindle Paperwhite which I'd be willing to give to you if you wanted it. It's pretty good for reading .pdfs, but I understand if you don't want the Amazon connection. Another option is to try to get a tablet of some sort. You can download e-reader apps to the tablet and then upload your .pdf files for reading later. If you have a library card, you may find that your library also has an e-book lending system that works with both Kindle and other tablet apps for your reading pleasure.
