I've been buying DRM-free dense technical ebooks (EPUB and PDF formats), and would like to read them while walking. I'm not up-to-date on the latest options, since I normally prefer reading from my laptop, so asking HN.
I'm thinking supports easily copying my EPUB and PDF files to it (and without treating them as second-class citizens), lightweight for carrying for miles, non-glare screen, e-ink, optionally some kind of lighting when starting to get dark, non-invasive (e.g., no phoning home to report on my reading, no advertising and dark patterns pushing me to a store), not so expensive I feel too bad if I drop it or it gets lost/stolen.
If it runs open source, that'd be ideal, but I don't want to make a hobby project of this. I want it to arrive at my doorstep, copy some books onto it in 5 minutes, and go for a walk and start reading.
OK if it's an older model that's still available on eBay.
