Of course I dream of something with feature parity with the US and Eastern alternatives, but I am not interested in color or touch. Mostly care about format support and rendering.

Tech products like an eReader are almost always made in China anyway. Buying a real book would be without American BigTech and Chinese manufacturer

I'd love a European open hardware/free software device. But does that exist? I haven't seen that yet.

Better is good. If it is made in China, but runs software that does not a rely on a cloud and it works offline, that might also work for quite a lot of people looking to get away from US products spying on them.

Fair enough, but different people have different needs and preferences. I appreciate being able to read daily papers from all over the world and prefer an e-papers screen over backlit alternatives. There are also books that have gone out of print or are only published electronically. And being able to load thousands of books onto a device weighing a few hg Is a huge plus especially if you travel.
