Working with a budget of 200$ max, could maybe go slightly over. Any suggestions? I’ve never used an ereader before, so no need for anything fancy

Damn, that could get you a lot, especially if you’re open to the used/refurbished market. Forget about jailbreaking anything, all you need is Calibre.
I second the recommendation of a used/reconditioned or open box Kobo. You should find something nice under/around $100.
Look at pawn shops. They’re like 10 bucks.
Used/refurbished Kobo. Install KOreader/plato (let me know if you need the link to the tutorial). Download .epubs off annas-archive
Theres always the Samsung A tablets. They go for around $200ish. Entry level no high powered frills tablets with ok color. Open just about any format of stuff. You aren’t locked into a single store either.
I bought an old used kindle and jailbroke it. You still need to shop around though because people think selling secondhand means recouping all of their original cost.
If I had to do it all over again, I’d probably go with the Kobo Clara BW. My tiny ass Kindle does just fine though. Just don’t like being tied to Amazon because of it. I basically pirate all my stuff so I can’t comment on the storefront of each.
I have a Kobo Clara HD, bought reconditioned (or maybe it was open box) and I love it. I use KORrader and have only used the Kobo store once or twice.
