> Is there a tool that makes it easy to buy Kindle books and strip them of their DRM

Yes, the most common one is Calibre, which is also great for converting formats and bulk operations. There is a "DeDRM Plugin" for it on GitHub that does what you're asking.

> Is the ReMarkable capable of running an open source OS behind the hood?

Yes, and there has been some success with this including Parabola-rM. However, there seems to be no open driver for the radio chipset (so no WiFi!).

The ReMarkable is already running an open source OS behind the hood. It's a bit complicated, the UI isn't open, but it's just running on linux, you can write and run your own programs.

Is it an ARM Debian-based distro or Android or something else?

It's definitely an ARM linux distro, I'm not entirely sure which one to be honest.

It is a customised yocto Linux iirc.
