This is a device category I have very little knowledge about, but I have a growing collection of PDFs and ebooks and I'd love to have a light weight device to read them on.

Any recommendations? Are they all walled gardens?

    Seconded. Some older kindles can also be jailbroken. But Kobos in general are good. You might want to avoid Onyx, they're known violators of GPL

        GPL is the one that requires you to freely publish your changes to the source code for others to use. its not based to make it much harder to maintain the device once the manufacturer decides to drop support.

          Oh OK violating GPL not as in failing to respect intellectual property, but as failing to publish the shit you do, got it
