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)

@mair @TeaKayB Yeah lots of comments not only on the fediverse but outside of it too. For me is too small but that's the most pocket-sized I've seen and it has different firmwares too.

Yes, it looks like it might be a little too small for me too... But a little too small might work out better than a little too big.

@TeaKayB I think it must be great to take in a pocket so you car read almost everywhere, commuting, on a bench, on coffee shop, ... Light, only needs one hand. But still prefer the 6-7 inches screen.
