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)

It would be great if one could follow this thread via notifications as it fills out but mastodon appears to lack a little bell icon per posts and I'm just realizing this for the first time now. I follow a couple of accounts that way...

Anyhow, interesting thread. I'm learning about options here. Thanks for posting.

I use the bookmark function for threads I want to come back to later, it's not quite the same but useful to find important stuff

That's the harder bit. Although if you ever need to escape the toxic news cycle it's a good way to go back to good things
