Nook SimpleTouch is broken: what to get next?

My 2yo Nook simple touch developed the screen problems, some lines going up, down and across. Time to get a replacement.

What the replacement should be?

Two things I love about SimpleTouch:
* I love the concept of e-paper. I believe it is the way to go in order to be easy on eyes. Perfect for reading traditional (b/w) books, which I am mostly into.
* Low power consumption. SimpleTouch allows robably 2+ weeks of reading, and can hold charge for well over a month on idle.

Thing that could be better with SimpleTouch:
* Screen could be somewhat larger.
* Bugs, like page Up/Down keys sometimes begin to repeat many times. Battery leaks when not powered down after recharge, etc.

Obvious choice is to get another SimpleTouch.

But what are the alternatives? Anybody can recommend something else in the same price range, with the similar screen (maybe larger), with Android and all the same features, and maybe more?
