Well the most important thing is to define what you are looking for in terms of a reader of which you have stated that you do not want one that is prorietary, and most of them are proprietary however there are a few that that multiple loyalties. Such as the Kobo which can read books from Kobo Books and Borders books and the Jet Book Lite which has the added advantage that it can read the widest number of formats available, no one can come close. Another thing to do if you don't want a proptietary reader is if you have a smart phone already such as a blackberry, an Android base phone or an iphone, many electronic book stores such as (amazon, Barns and Nobels, Mobipocket, borders and Overdrive Libraries) make available for free reader software that can read their books on your smart phone. Your smart phone is loyal to anyone that will get you a free reader adn therefore has no loyalties at all.
