I wanna buy an ebook reader but i don't want any amazon or other companies shit in there, just something i can connect to my pc, pass ebooks in different formats into it and read.

AFAIK every single ebook reader on the market actually runs Linux under the hood!

in parts of europe you can get some kobos branded as "tolino" - they have the same hardware, but actually run on android
