Ask HN: Best Open E-Reader?

I have too many books (~200) which I bought but I don’t want to have around. Mostly novels which I’m probably going to donate to local libraries or similar.

However I feel entitled of having a copy of those books in electronic format. Very slowly, I’m looking for .epub files and storing these in a hard drive.

Now, say I want to read one of them on an e-ink device. Which one is going to allow me to load these files without going through proprietary stores (I’m not going to pay twice for something I already own) or jailbreaking the device?

I simply want to spend x$ and have something which will last for a long time.
