Your best bet for a no BS ebook reader might be this (if it where in stock): https://pine64.com/product/pinenote-developer-edition/

The PineNote won't be in stock until the community of developers figure out a proper Linux based OS for it. I dig through the forums occasionally and they are making progress, but it won't be soon.

Yeah, the development for the Pine products take their time, but I wouldn't want to trade my PineTime for something else. Great gadget for an incredibly low price!

Dude for real!! 30 bucks and does everything I really want a smartwatch to do, without all the telemetry siphoning! Plus that "Terminal" watch face is chef's kiss. (https://zephyrlabs.github.io/Watchfaces/Terminal/)
