Looks like the one this is talking about is expected to be open hardware + open software. Given its based on the ESP32 chipset, should be relatively inexpensive and fairly standard
The PineNote. Depending on your definition of “proper”, since it ships with GNOME and AFAICT only supports Wayland, and Wayland doesn’t have many compositors that work well on a device with no keyboard.
Nice.
Now, how long till I can get an ebook reader / eink device with proper open source software? Or anyone have any recommendations?

The pocketbook is the best I know of on the market right now. I have one (bought it a few months back) and it is exactly what was advertised.
