Of course I dream of something with feature parity with the US and Eastern alternatives, but I am not interested in color or touch. Mostly care about format support and rendering.

Inkbook, ~~Pocketbok~~ (Sorry, Pocketbook is Swiss so not EU), Tolino. Inkbook can sideload most Android apps so it doesn't lock you into any particular ecosystem. I have one myself (Focus Plus) It's fairly basic but ok. Above all it works with the app my local library uses. It's the only European reader I've tried so can't really comment on the others.

What's the point of a Google Android product build in the EU?

InkBook's OS is based on Android but it's not stock Android so you don't need to link the device to any Google account or such. My library uses Android apps for book lending and newspaper and magazine access digitally so personally my options for library loans is a reader that can sideload Android apps or nothing at all.
