Hello. Just found this forum while reading which e-ink readers work the best with external keyboards.

I'm wondering, still, which e-ink readers perform the best with an external keyboard, and which are the best suited to long term exposure to the elements encountered in a backpack, bicycle pannier pack, ran hot and cold and in accumulative wet weather.

I have used a Nook Color in the past, rooted, with Cyanogenmod OS and loads of fun apps. It was incredibly useful. However, I regularly spend months at a time bombing around forests and mountains and beaches. I need something that can serve as a writing and data entry tool as well as storing a sizable library.

Are e-ink devices up to the task? What device would you recommend for combination with an external keyboard and heavy use in the back country?
