So what's the best, most open, e-reader to get?

I'm being pushed out of one increasingly locked-down corporate ebook racket and I don't want to sign up to another one.

So:

- Who's making the best e-readers that'll allow me to buy ebooks from different providers?
- Who's selling eBooks that aren't locked down to a single brand of device?

(I'm in the UK)

@TeaKayB Boox readers run android, so you can install as many ereader apps as you want.

Kobo makes sideloading non-Kobo books easy, and it integrates natively with library Overdrive services. You can even install KOReader alongside the native software and connect to Calibre, for example.

I love my Kobo, but Boox may be the easiest if you want to run a bunch of different store apps on the same device without fiddling.

@cherizilla @TeaKayB I loved the idea of Boox but the household got two different kinds and used neither, whereas we are all using Kobo + Calibre fairly easily. Wireless sync with calibre feels seamless.
@Ailbhe @TeaKayB Good to know! Thanks.
