I'm looking for an eReader that doesn't lock me into a particular ecosystem or format. Ideally I came just copy files over to it and have them work.

Other than that, small physical dimensions and a backlight would be great!

It's been years since I had one but in the market again and I'm not sure the current state of things. My old one was a Kobo and took files just fine.

I got a Boox Nova Air and it has some trade offs. None of the ereaders are open source/Stallman-esque ethics friendly really but I do like that with Android based readers like Onyx Boox you can read in whatever app you want (like I had some purchased on Kindle, Kobo or even the Libby library app or Scribd subscription service.) This works for me since I can have those multiple sources. However, I found the Kobo Libra H20 to be a more polished and enjoyable experience so if all you're doing is putting files on and not worrying about having multiple source access then I'd recommend that form factor.
