Kobo, they have a variety of sizes, have pretty minimal interface and work great. They also support overdrive for libraries.

Boox and Kubo have nice readers. I have a Boox Poke and it's pretty nice e-ink that isn't too expensive. I personally just use a Kindle Fire 10 HD for reading though.
Music to my ears! I built an open source application for reading books and comics and mobi has been a huge pain as there aren't many libraries out there that support it, let alone that are cross platforms for all the architectures/OS I support.
Edit: www.kavitareader.com is the software

This is a great news. I build a service[0] to send articles & online content to Kindle and converting to MOBI sometimes messes up the formatting.

Gentle reminder that proprietary software harms your freedom and takes advantage of you [0]. Consider supporting devices based on FLOSS, like PineNote [1].

I might, if it ever ships. And, is in a bare usable state.
Which is why I said "supporting", not "using".
The thing booted with a base GUI a year ago.
If it can handle even a basic task, such as a simple ereader, so many hackers could buy it, use it, and also improve it.
They aren't even taking orders yet.
Should I ... what?
Anyhow, I agree with youe general statement, just not about this paricular device.

Join the development? Spread the word? Donate to the operating systems running on it?
AFAIK PineNote can handle basic tasks, even if it might not be stable yet: https://www.pine64.org/2022/01/15/january-update-more-news/.
Also you can order it: https://pine64.com/product/pinenote-developer-edition/.

No thanks. I'll take the path of least resistance and see where I am led. Because I would rather be slowly enslaved than inconvenienced.
I laughed. This goes to my favorites now.
Not everyone is in the highly paid tech bubble. Kindle's are €89.
At least they started accepting epub so it's not that bad. Before that I had to convert them to mini beforehand, epub is more popular format anyway.
Are there any e-readers which do offer a simple, minimalist interface? I've given up hope of finding a low-distraction alternative to an Android tablet for reading PDFs, but have never had the opportunity to try any e-ink devices other than Kindles and Remarkables (which are too expensive and seem like imminent abandonware given the backlash against their subscription model).
