Wow that is outrageous. Hopefully there are still sideloading ereaders on the market by the time my current one dies, I don't want to have to go search for one on ebay.

If I were buying an e-reader these days I'd look at something like the Boox devices that run Android. You could install the Kindle and Kobo apps and a good third-party reader app (I like ReadEra), and have pretty convenient access to ebooks from any source. They are overpriced though.
