The kobo unes run Linux ootb, and they are as easy to install something like pluto on as an android one, but I still prefer them because I can do all kinds of shinanigans with the command line
Also if they are too expensive for you, just get a used one, as long as they have a backlight you can read just as well on them as a libra color
It’s because the first few generations of DRM were extremely poorly implemented.

It will also then let me distribute that ebook to others without restriction.
