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).
