Of course it is. You just choose not to buy such a device, which is entirely different. There are a number of completely open eInk devices on the market, such as the Onyx T68 and Boyue T62.

I'm an old timer and I began reading ebooks before they were called ebooks...

I very, very much doubt that. The term "electronic book" was coined in the 1960s, and was in common enough usage that it was used without comment or explanation in a computer trade journal article title in 1985.
