The OP expressed a preference for an "open" ereader. I am alerting to the danger that the Kindle is the least open ereader on the market. That's fine as long as you can get round it. But it will and is getting harder. Also he needs to be aware that he may no longer be able to jail-break, which he also specified as desire for.

Frankly, I can't imagine why anyone who wants an "open" ereader would get a Kindle. Well, I can, because that's all that is in the stores at least in the USA. But it's a potentially dangerous choice if you want to read epubs and want to jail-break. Kobo is far more "open." But I can see why the OP might prefer a Kindle as long as it can be jail-broken.
