Some ereaders with EInk displays were supported by OpenInkpot, they are
hard to find now and the project development stopped.
All other free software support for such devices that I know about is
running a GNU/Linux system inside the original nonfree system.
Improving this might be difficult.

They keep the prices coming up until they see that people will stop buying.
When that happens, they lower it a little bit again, and keep selling the
most units at the highest price. So, yeah, they will make tons of money from
