Is there an open/free firmware for ereader?
Or are we bound to Sony / Amazon / Kobo when we want to read ebooks?

@Malin Not that I'm aware of. But I do know of a bookseller-agnostic vendor called Icarus. Books DRM'd by the seller are still DRM'd, and still check your permissions with that seller, but the reader doesn't care what the source is.

@WeeMadHamish that's still good to know. Thanks!
