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.

Kobo readers are really neat, I've been using them for over a decade and I don't remember ever using a Rakuten account or even going online with them for anything but software updates or connecting to my local library system (which Kindle can't do). I use Calibre on the desktop to manage, convert and load my reader and that's it.
