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.

I have a Remarkable 2 as well that I love. But I also have an old Sony PRS-500 that is still kicking along and takes ePubs without any problems.
the remarkable software is proprietary. they just run it on linux and give you root via ssh, but installing anything voids your warranty…
So it’s basically just a Kindle but you don’t have to use an exploit to gain root access?

no, it is quite fancy hardware, almost a4 paper sized, very thin and with an amazing hand writing experience and pretty good ocr.

Its a good device, but also quite expensive
