Which brands are generally more piracy-friendly? Do you suggest any specific model? Or maybe there are products that are easily customizable at the OS level? Thanks!

you can pirate on a kindle it's just more annoying to do

Kobo is the go-to for bang for buck readers that don't care where your files are from and have good format support. got my dad a libra 2 and it's great, especially with the physical page turn buttons. the default reader opens most files just fine, but you can also put KoReader on them for more functionality without too much hassle.

Personally I use an older Boox Note 3 which is easier since it runs android, but is massive overkill to be used as just a reader, i use it as my main tablet and a notepad/sketchpad.

What makes the Kindle more annoying? I've only owned a single Kindle, but I've never had any problem dropping pirated content on it using Calibre.

My next eReader probably won't be a Kindle, but not for reasons related to piracy.
