I just supposed .odt would be OpenOffice writer files and would like (but it it's not that much of an issue for now) to be able to read them.

Any suggestions?

PocketBook can read .doc files.
I am not so sure about .odt. I do not recall seeing such info.

.odt file is very similar in structure to epub, so you might try to rename .odt to .odt.epub and if you are lucky, in some cases this might work.

.odt file can be used as an input to Calibre, so there is no problem converting. Also there are some plugins for OpenOffice (or its newer step-brother Libre Office) for epub creation. I think that some epub authoring programs (sigil? or perhaps commercial (and very good) Jutoh? might accept .odt)
