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?

@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.
Having a Kobo device also makes DeDRMing your purchased books with Calibre and the right plugin extremely easy.
There's also a build for KOreader for it.
Just FYI, Onyx (maker of BOOX devices) has a dicey history with the GPL, from what I've heard.
The PineNote is the only truly FOSS option.
