eReader recommendations? (lemmy.ca)

I'm looking for an eReader that doesn't lock me into a particular ecosystem or format. Ideally I came just copy files over to it and have them work.

Other than that, small physical dimensions and a backlight would be great!

It's been years since I had one but in the market again and I'm not sure the current state of things. My old one was a Kobo and took files just fine.

But let’s say you happen to ~~strip the drm~~ find a DRM free source of ebooks like on Humble Bundle and want an eReader and are looking for options.

If you're a sci-fi/fantasy fan, Baen is a great publisher with DRM free books. With reasonable prices, not practically the same price for the ebook or physical book like other places.

There are other sources of DRM free books that I treat just as I would my local library, without having to be on a waitlist of hundreds of people to read a digital file...

JNovel Club sells drm free books on their site for Light Novels and Manga. Project Gothenburg has Public Domain Books for free too.
