I wanna buy an ebook reader but i don't want any amazon or other companies shit in there, just something i can connect to my pc, pass ebooks in different formats into it and read.

Your best bet for a no BS ebook reader might be this (if it where in stock): https://pine64.com/product/pinenote-developer-edition/
The PineNote won't be in stock until the community of developers figure out a proper Linux based OS for it. I dig through the forums occasionally and they are making progress, but it won't be soon.
Yeah, the development for the Pine products take their time, but I wouldn't want to trade my PineTime for something else. Great gadget for an incredibly low price!
Dude for real!! 30 bucks and does everything I really want a smartwatch to do, without all the telemetry siphoning! Plus that "Terminal" watch face is chef's kiss. (https://zephyrlabs.github.io/Watchfaces/Terminal/)
