    +1 on this. Kobos actually use Linux under the hood. And although the default UI is proprietary, it’s super easy to install KOReader.
    You don’t even need to hack into it some custom firmware, just a sideloader, which normally doesn’t break even if you actually updated the base firmware.
    Here the official tutorial on how to do it: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-Kobo-devices

        in parts of europe you can get some kobos branded as “tolino” - they have the same hardware, but actually run on android
