What are my options and how do they compare? If something from Amazon, don’t they have less invasive one, maybe with alternative firmware or set of recommended settings to make it less annoying? Something that works with an US based public library. Something that doesn’t try to control what I read. Something that does not force me to use their shop (but allows for it).

Something with a straightforward directory structure that doesn't obfuscate things. What are my other options? Something that would easily allow to put my existing books in from any win, Mac, Linux. Probably watches me and tracks my privacy.

Then it gets me on Amazon when I want to get books from my local library. Then it doesn't search well in non-Amazon content. Now it is relatively more painful to get your existing drm free books in. and I am sort of more and more unhappy with the whole Amazon ecosystem. So, what e-book reader hardware is around in 2022 and what would you recommend and why? I am aware of kindle and have like 4 in the family.
