Apparently you can jailbreak the Kindle, but can you transfer files to it easily, and I doubt you can *really* avoid Amazon tracking your activity in any case. I like that Kobo supports libraries, but again, seems like you're kind of stuck with the books they sell, right?The PocketBook Basic 3 seems like a decent choice, but it also seems like it wasn't neccisarily built for the US market so I doubt I could get one cheap enough to be worth it.

Buy any ereader that looks good to you.

Calibre. Buy your books from wherever you like and learn to import them with Calibre and the
Apprentice Alf add-on to remove DRM. Sideload your purchased books from Calibre to your reader.
One caveat: to borrow from the library, I believe you do have to use WiFi.
