    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.

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

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