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 I like Kobo's hardware, and they're "open enough" for my tastes.

I believe that there's also open source firmware support for them if you want to tinker with that sort of thing. Though I suppose this is probably beside the point for people who just want a decent consumer experience in what is a decent bit of kit.

I'm not averse to a bit of tinkering!
