For hardware, I too have found Kobo hardware pretty decent - 
they're fairly hackable and are well supported by third-party 
open/free software. The Remarkable tablets are also supposed to be 
pretty hackable, but they're a bit pricey and I have no direct 
experience here.

For software, I really like Koreader - 
https://github.com/koreader/koreader - it works really well on 
eink devices (as well as Android tablets and even, to a certain 
extent, desktop linux).
