    I have been really hankering for an 8 inch ereader, but it seems like everything needs to use a proprietary OS with all sorts of drawbacks. Is there anything out there that is more FOSS-minded, or is the best option to load a Kobo with KOReader and just disable as much of the main OS as possible?

      It’s only a partial match, but the ReMarkable runs linux under the hood, and you can install a package manager on it.

      It’s not a fantastic E-Reader, as it’s mostly designed for taking notes, but it does work as one. The main drawback is the lack of a built in light, but depending on your use-case that might not be an issue for you

        That did look tempting, and I could probably work with the lackluster eBook functionality, but 10" is too big for me
