Of all the people I know who bought into e-readers, they all just went back to books. Kindle is the only one that seems to still pop up, but people hate amazon so much they'd far father buy from mom and pop shops.
I jailbroke my Kindle and use KOReader on it which made my Kindle 10x better. But you're right in that I'd support mom & pop before Amazon.
I tossed KOReader on my Kobo Libra 2 recently after a year of thinking it didn't add anything useful. Oh boy, was I wrong.
It's so much faster, I can dial in the formatting exactly how I want it, and I can customize the inputs to my liking. Page turn only on physical buttons, tap a corner to toggle dark mode, etc.
