    KOReader is a libre eBook app for Kobo eReaders, jailbroken Kindles and several other devices:

    https://koreader.rocks

    There isn't any onboarding for non-tech people, so you may want to ask a techy friend for help.

    Installation instructions are in the Wiki:

    Kobo
    https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-Kobo-devices

    Kindle (jailbroken only)
    https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-Kindle-devices

    Other devices incl. Android, PocketBook and Cervantes
    https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki

    (Thanks to @gregory for the tip!)

      Note that it may not be possible to jailbreak all Kindles, and even when possible it may be difficult.

      You might be better off getting a non-Kindle device.

      p.s. Note that it may not be possible to jailbreak all Kindles, and even when possible it may be difficult.

      Kindles tend to be locked down and hostile to libre stuff, so you might be better off getting a non-Kindle device.

      @jeannie

      Ok. I'm just using the term the KOReader app makers use in their wiki.

      @khardix

      I'm not sure, maybe @gregory who suggested KOReader might know?

      I did a quick search and found this libre firmware, but it's only for Kobos:
