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?

It's my understanding that if you got your book from Amazon, and Amazon/Audible has a human-read audiobook of that book, and you're willing to pay extra for it, then Kindle lets you listen to it synced with the Kindle, so you can alternately read a passage and listen to a passage, and never lose your place. If there is no audiobook, or you don't pay extra for it, or you didn't get the ebook from Amazon in the first place, then you get to enjoy the goodlife experience, listening to stories as read by the bad machines.
