I know this isn't what you're asking for but the kobo H2O is what I use and it's fantastic. It's not sucked into Amazon's shitty ecosystem and right out of the box it works for loading pirated content. I get all my books from the zlibrary onion site and you literally drag and drop files into the file folder. It's e-ink so the battery lasts forever, it gets super bright for outside reading, and it's waterproof. I can't speak to modding but I haven't bought a book since 2020 because of it and I honestly prefer it to most physical books at this point
Didn't know about Kobo but apparently that model seems to be out of stock in the EU. Also the devices seem a bit more expensive than amazon's. Not sure if this is just amazon selling at a loss or that the quality or something might be better on the Kobo.
I'll have a look on the local 2nd hand market, maybe I'll have some luck.
From what I can tell the H20 is an older product that's been mostly replaced by the Libra 2. I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon sold at a loss, breaking a kindle out of the Amazon ecosystem is more work than most people will do, so they end up being audible subscribers and buying books from Amazon. Personally I think they're worth the slightly higher price tag to avoid the headache but ultimately it's your money
