Which brands are generally more piracy-friendly? Do you suggest any specific model? Or maybe there are products that are easily customizable at the OS level? Thanks!

I’m genuinely baffled every time I see people suggest KOReader.
It has the worst library navigation I’ve ever seen.
KOReader is by far better than the crappy stock firmware from Kobo. While the interface is not the prettiest, it still has a lot of advantages :
- it adds the ability to browse the filesystem (how do people use an e-reader without folders ?)
- loading medium to large PDFs takes ages in kobo’s stock UI, while it’s almost instant in koreader
- there are a bunch of plugins you can add to koreader
While I really hate Kobo’s stock UI, I still recommend getting one if you like truly owning your hardware. It’s really easy to enable ssh access and then it’s just regular Linux. It’s even possible to run an X server and launch Linux graphical apps on the e-ink display (not quite usable though)
