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.

Boox run android, so that might fit your title.

From your post content though it actually sounds like you'd be happy with a Kobo. You can easily transfer books and you can install third party open source reading software too.

Second on kobo, sure the OS is proprietary, but it's good enough that I forget. And as the previous comment said, you can install third party reader software. I like koreader, it pretty much replaces the entire UI of the device
