Very few books from big English-language publishers are DRM free. If you insist on DRM-free ebooks, you'll be restricted to a few genre publishers and most independents.

So - the first thing you need to do is see if the publishers of the technical books you're most interested in publish their books DRM-free. If they do, any E-Ink based ebook reader will be able to read them, at worst after conversion via calibre.

On the other hand, if you are OK with buying ebooks so long as you can remove the DRM, I'd recommend going for the new Paperwhite 3 from Amazon. Apprentice Alf's tools can remove DRM from Amazon Kindle ebooks. (& also from B&N and Kobo ebooks, with more hoops to jump through).
