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 still see Kobo recommended these days, so an upgrade might be a good option for you. I use a Kindle, but that obviously locks you in with Amazon. I wish I'd have gotten a Kobo myself.

Can you read books checked out from libby on kobo?

I’m not sure if it’s the same everywhere but in Canada you can for sure. Kindle has a very slightly better selection (small press horror lit tends to be missing from Kobo) but doesn’t support Overdrive here.
