E-Ink Reader?

I went and accidentally broke my Kindle 3/Keyboard and am in the market for a new E-Ink reader.

While I won't miss the keyboard, I have to admit the hard buttons for page turns will be missed, does anything on the mart still offer hard buttons for page turns?

I already have an Oberon Designs cover for the Kindle 3 that I want to reuse if I can so something similar in overall dimensions to the K3 would be nice.

Im a calibre user so I am format agnostic, most of my books are in mobi or awz, with a few PDFs but I can convert them easily enough.

I looked at the new PW2 and while it seems good, in some ways its a step back. Only 2GB of storage and problems with large PDFs that the K3 could handle with ease.

One other I was looking at was the Aura HD but Ive never used a Kobo before so the software might be flaky and no hard buttons. Otherwise, size wize it matches up fairly well with the K3 only without the keyboard and instead includes a bigger screen. Ive also read that it is kinda delicate, which is a shame for something at its price.

Another option would be a 7" tablet like N7 or iPad Mini but I really want to stick with an e-ink matte screen for bright light reading.

Any suggestions?
