What Can We Learn from Barnes and Noble's Surprising Turnaround?
>I really wish I could have an e-reader, but again, I don't want to spend money on things that will lock me into a single vendor indefinitely and might just arbitrarily go away.

This may be up your alley.

Are there any small form factor readers (a third the size of a smartphone or smaller)?
It's not a commercial off the shelf product, but the Open Book uses a 4.2" screen. There are other devices you can find on places like AliBaba that are kinda small. However, in general you won't find a name brand commercial ereader under 6" that isn't ina phone body. There were a couple at 5" back-when but the industry really settled on 6" as the common base size.

GitHub Code Search (Preview)
This is very useful to see examples of how people have used APIs that are either poorly documented or not at all. Or even that are well documented, really. Going from docs to code is not always straightforward.
To give you just one example, recently I've been using it to find how people have written code to interface with e-ink displays. I usually have the datasheet which lists all the commands the protocol support, but building it all into a valid startup sequence of ~20 commands to activate the display is left as an exercise for the reader.
So the docs will look like this: https://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/6/6a/4.2inch-e-paper-spec...
And what I need is a sequence like this: https://github.com/joeycastillo/The-Open-Book/blob/5c5054c58...

Alternative to Kindle e-reader?
I use a Kobo mini with okreader firmware. Older device, but was very cheap refurbished on eBay.
-
Open distros for e-readers?
It is not a complete operating system, though, just a document reader. But there have been distributions based on this, like okreader (which seems to be an abandoned project).

There's also this OSS firmware for certain Kobo devices: https://github.com/lgeek/okreader
