Community firmware for the Xteink X4 e-paper reader
Not personally familiar with the details, as I don't have any Amazon devices. Sounds like it involves jailbreaking and per-model differences: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-Ki...

I turned my Kindle into my own personal newspaper
What i did is, jailbreak [1] my Kindle Oasis, and install KOreader [2].
This gives you full access to upload whatever ebook you want (SSH, WebDav, Syncthing, ...) and it can fetch RSS feeds (i use it with FreshRSS.)
PS. The (very old) Kindle Oasis is still the best device there is to read on in my opion. Which is crazy, since it was released from 2016-2019...
It has 2 phyisical buttons to turn the page, and an ambient light sensor to auto adjust the brightness, and a 300 PPI display.
I'm still "waiting" for a better / equal device to be released.

Kids Rarely Read Whole Books Anymore. Even in English Class
> Paper books are too hard to sell after you have read it.
Still accomplishes the goal of allowing kids to read a book.
> Ereaders can not render PDF/DJVU with formulas. My reading list has nothing able to be read from that kind of devices.
Kids don't usually have these sort of requirements with their reading lists. Also have you looked into KOReader[1], which has support for djvu it looks like?
> Installing some more proprietary code will not lead to "deshittifying" some existing proprietary code. You just add 1 guy more of your dependances. You even can not do this once for whole life of the device. So many time perfect for reading goes inte nowhere with Woedows OS.
Firstly, I wasn't suggesting installing more proprietary code. Not sure where you got that from. Most scripts/guides I've seen that help disable the more intrusive/annoying parts of Windows are FOSS.
Secondly, then install Linux and only use FOSS, for which there are many options to read books with?
