I'm also doing that research. From what I found out so far most major choices will have some restriction on sideloaded (no DRM) books to make you buy from their own stores and hook you forever. The newest most popular feature being sadly used to this purpose by the major companies are social features like facebook sharing for instance.

They will lure you with the promise of 1000 features but soon you'll find out you need to use their own book to access them. In the same way I would not buy the gas and the car from the same company I'm not doing that for books. I'm strongly against this because its killing smaller publishers and authors.

So far I found out the Kobo is the best choice, the worst being kindle as you won't even be able to use the EPUB format.

Also, I use e-ink solely. I like to read and I like to feel it's a piece of paper and not my smartphone I have to plug in everyday.
