An old Pocketbook would be (and still is) my hardware of choice. They run some kind of Linux, support apps (which need to be sideloaded), .mobi, .epub, mangas and .pdf (this one is a bit choppy but it's a decade old device). The only available connectivity is wifi which I keep off because browsing is shit on an ereader.
