Size

E.reader for a philosophy student ?

3' size, my suggestion will be to go for Boox Note 3. Even though Note air is also a great option in that size, I won't recommend it for your use case because you said you will use it on the go a lot.

Need something that handles "slide-loaded material" (.epub / .pdf primarily) really well!

It's a bad choice, it's not for you. If you are going to read PDF documents, then you need a big screen as 6 inches is far too small and zooming and scrolling on an e-ink display is not a good experience. I would recommend getting a 7.8 inch screen as a bare minimum

Battery Life

Love this thing!

I now carry only this, not a couple of paperbacks, a notebook and a pen. The battery life is phenomenal! I read 3-4 hours a day 5 days a week with frequent interruptions (work, what can you do?) so it often powers off and the battery is still 50%-60% at the end of the week! The ability to change the screen lighting makes it easy on the eyes, the bluetooth connection works well with ear buds but I've only been able to bluetooth tether it to my phone once. The Wi-Fi tether works like a champ every time. My only "complaints" are: 1) setting up the google play store (for the nook and Kindle apps) is frustrating if you don't, as I did not, read the instructions (the reboot is, in fact, necessary!) 2) Every time I would tether the device the location would automatically turn on (this has been alleviated with the latest update but contrary to the update notes, location is NOT turned off by default

Just looking to buy one that is 8+ inches, is durable, and allows me to manage my downloaded books well

But if you do, you have the Kobo Elipsa, the Pocketbook Inkpad X, the Pocketbook Inkpad Lite (lower resolution than other ereaders of comparative size), the Boyue Likebook P10 (also slightly lower resolution than competitors iirc), and the Boox Note 3/Air. Android ereaders take a hit on battery life. In terms of durability, theoretically any of the ones with screens using mobius flexible should be more durable.
