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?

TTS because I like to listen to books while I'm doing chores around the house and while eating meals. e-Ink because the reading experience is far better than LCD screens and I have DSPS (a sleep disorder) so night-time light levels are an important issue for me. I guess I might end up with separate devices, but it's nice to have TTS instead of a mp3 because a lot of books have pictures or names that TTS screws up. When there's a TTS issue or a table in the book, you can glance at the screen and continue. If you converted the book to mp3 then you lose that information.
