Greetings, Koz and List!

I'm not sure if you mean software based or a piece of hardware.  As for
software based, I find FBReader to be quite good.  I have it installed
on my netbook and my phone (running Replicant).  A replicant device
with FBReader takes the place of the Kindle for me.

OpenInkPot was an active project but development recently stopped on
it.  I think it ran on some more obscure e-ink devices:
