Tempting price, but no built-in illuminator and maybe a proprietary ebook format? Not sure.

Proprietary format? It uses EPUB. And only DRM-free ebooks.

And it's opened up somewhat officially for alternate firmware like CrossPoint: https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader

imo physical page turn buttons are a bigger deal than built-in light. And the price point is really compelling.
