Hi,

My Kindle won't boot anymore and keeps getting stuck in boot screen, so I thought this might be a good time to get away from Amazon, even though that device was great.

So, what non-kindle readers would you recommend?

It should have color and background light and it shouldn't be huge so I can keep it in the back pocket.

And, since I don't have any experience outside the Amazon ecosystem: how is the experience of buying and transferring books to non Kindle readers?

This but a 7" tablet. And man, if I could find a current one that ran an older version of android that didn't have a screen lock enforced, I'd buy 10 of them. I hate waking up in the middle of the night and having the full brightness of the lockscreen in my eyes until I can swipe and get my max-dimmed FBReader screen. Never had that problem on Android 4.X
