I’m looking for an eReader that doesn’t lock me into a particular ecosystem or format. Ideally I came just copy files over to it and have them work.

Other than that, small physical dimensions and a backlight would be great!

It’s been years since I had one but in the market again and I’m not sure the current state of things. My old one was a Kobo and took files just fine.

This makes it seem like you can, but I don’t know for sure.

That’s cool, I tried a kindle paperwhite, but returned it because I kept accidentally hitting that stupid power button they put on the bottom right where you hold it while reading.

Ha, yeah I do that all the time. I’m still considering switching to a Kobo once I read all the books in my queue.

Weird - literally never happened to me because I hold it 4 fingers on the back and thumb on the left edge.

Yes the content in that link is correct. I own a Kobo Forma 2 and have used the Overdrive app to successfully connect to my local library.
