Looking for an ebook reader (hardware) which doesn't hold a proprietary OS - Feddit.it

I wanna buy an ebook reader but i don’t want any amazon or other companies shit in there, just something i can connect to my pc, pass ebooks in different formats into it and read.

Your best bet for a no BS ebook reader might be this (if it where in stock): pine64.com/product/pinenote-developer-edition/

The PineNote won’t be in stock until the community of developers figure out a proper Linux based OS for it. I dig through the forums occasionally and they are making progress, but it won’t be soon.
Yeah, the development for the Pine products take their time, but I wouldn’t want to trade my PineTime for something else. Great gadget for an incredibly low price!

For PineTime users, devs, and people interested to delve themselves into this device. Every OS is welcome :-)

Dude for real!! 30 bucks and does everything I really want a smartwatch to do, without all the telemetry siphoning! Plus that “Terminal” watch face is chef’s kiss. (zephyrlabs.github.io/Watchfaces/Terminal/)
Terminal.

just a bunch of watchfaces made for the pinetime.
