im thinking of getting an ereader, but cant find many foss devices. i dont plan on connecting it to the internet, so i suppose it doesnt matter if its controlled by amazon right? love to hear your thoughts…

    Kobo devices are the way to go. Easy sideloading, multiple FOSS operating system alternatives, and generally they’ve got some nice n’ cheap options.

    I use Kobo Forma with a 8" screen. Has physical buttons. Perfect for books and manga. Never connected it to the internet.

    Kobo ones are great because you can install Koreader or Plato on it without requiring any hacks or jailbreaking. I much prefer Koreader than the standard Kobo interface and it is completely devoid of any unnecessary online integration. I sync my little library of books using rsync over ssh.
