EDIT2: It does look like any Boox one I consider would need to be rootable. I'm looking more at those and comparing to here to see which are.
Boox devices don't come with FBreader by default at least the non-russian ones (e.g. from Amazon or boox.com). They let you side load out of the box. At least some of them are rootable. The Note Air 1 is at least on some firmwares. The hardware is pretty similar across models so I imagine most are. It's also possible to install multiple of the same app without rooting. I use App Cloner to have multiple Kobo apps for example. I'm sure you could figure out the same trick do it. I believe it just involves editing the APK manifest?

Boyue Likebooks also let you sideload. They support microSD cards. No idea if rootable though.
