My ad-supported Kindle's buttons are dying, so I'm in the market for a new eBook reader. I figured the upcoming sales would be a good time to buy one. To my surprise, eBook readers seem to be regressing rather than advancing. My hard requirements are:
And my preferred features include:
I'm unable to find anything which fulfills all those conditions. Any recommendations? Before you say smartphone, it needs an e-Ink display. Are smartphones and tablets killing eBook readers?

Look at my other comment for complete products using the 1600x1200 kit. You can find many of their kits in aliexpress.
Their 2.25" kit sells for 15$ so you can play around with it to see if it fits the bill.

To expand on that, their dev boards go up to 7.5-8" (http://www.good-display.com/products_detail/productId=327.html http://www.good-display.com/products_detail/productId=329.html) [good-display.com] depending on how you're going to drive them.
For the 13.3" you're expected to do your own PMIC which isn't too bad considering you can pick up their 2.5" model and look how it's done there.
