I like reading on e-ink, my kindle just keeled over but want to get out from under the Amazon bs. Anything that won’t have me fucking with a laptop is a bonus.

Get a device that is supported by KOReader and install that. I use an old Kindle Paperwhite 2, and with KOReader it's great. I use Calibre for library management (on a laptop) and it supports a wireless connection directly to Calibre. Or if you prefer to have your library on a NAS device (or sync it) you can set up an ODPS feed to directly browse and download from your NAS.
