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.

I use a Kindle, but that obviously locks you in with Amazon.

On my old Kindle I could connect it to USB and put any books I wanted on it. It supports TXT and MOBI on top of AZW. Is that no longer the case for newer Kindle models?

I’m not sure. Sounds like I have a project to try this weekend!
