I'm looking for an eReader that doesn't lock me into a particular ecosystem or format. Ideally I came just copy files over to it and have them work.

Other than that, small physical dimensions and a backlight would be great!

It's been years since I had one but in the market again and I'm not sure the current state of things. My old one was a Kobo and took files just fine.

I've actually been looking into this myself, and Kobo seems like the most 'open' option. The Libra 2 in particular fit my requirements for size and features. It supports quite a few ebook formats but I think it's limited to Kobo's own audiobooks only.

If anyone has one I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

I have owned many e-readers over the years. I have a Kobo Clara HD right now and really like it. I use Calibre ebook management software to load books on it. You can jailbreak anything using calibre's built-in de-drm features.
