Well, there actually are e-readers that are 100% open-source. I posted a link to one, and I've found a couple more. There's just not very many of them, and they're hard to get.
I get that I will mostly likely have to compromise on something in that regard. And I even let you guys know what I'm willing to compromise on. I was explicit as I could be.
When I was told about the limitations with PDF's, I accepted that, and dropped a criteria of my list. This really leaves me wondering if anyone is reading my replies before responding.
I'm not frustrated that exactly what I want probably doesn't exist. What's actually bugging me is that I'm being told that what I want is stupid. I'm an artist who believes artists should have the rights to their art and customers should have the rights to their possessions. And I'm willing to do a little extra homework to make smart buying decisions that conform to those beliefs as much as possible. Insane, I know. I should just surrender to it, because that will totally make it better (seriously, someone said that... how does that make sense?).
I didn't want a debate about it. I just said that I was looking for open-source. And people acted like I threw sand in their ice cream.
Evidently I'm on my own with this one, I guess.
