Which brands are generally more piracy-friendly? Do you suggest any specific model? Or maybe there are products that are easily customizable at the OS level? Thanks!

KOReader is by far better than the crappy stock firmware from Kobo. While the interface is not the prettiest, it still has a lot of advantages :
While I really hate Kobo’s stock UI, I still recommend getting one if you like truly owning your hardware. It’s really easy to enable ssh access and then it’s just regular Linux. It’s even possible to run an X server and launch Linux graphical apps on the e-ink display (not quite usable though)
But you can get an Android device with a reader that’s actually functional. Navigating a file system doesn’t even vaguely resemble functional.
I’m not advocating stock Kobo. I’m saying the absolute bare minimum for me to consider a reader usable at all is the ability to navigate/search/filter my library by all of author, publisher, tags, series, and any other metadata. Folders are an extremely poor substitute for actual organization tools.
