Are there any e-ink readers with a physical keyboard and navigation buttons like a kindle 3 that aren’t amazon made? And ideally ones that are somewhat hackable and not centrally controlled by an evil megacorp?

And possibly newer than a kindle 3, but I’d take stuff from that time period too if needed. Just ugh, micro USB is way worse than C (though mini or full size B would be cooler)

I had a kindle 3 a long time ago and would like something that is similarly laid out but ideally not evil

Amazon kindle 3 with an orthogonal physical keyboard and arrow navigation buttons.
