I know these questions gets asked all the time but I cant find a solution to what I'm after.

I'm reading a lot of text books and tech articles and currently have a Nexus 7 for reading them which is great but the screen gives me really bad eye strain.

I was thinking of get an e-reader hopefully with an e-ink display. I've used a kindle before and I seem to remember it was much better. I would also love it to run android primarly so I could use Ivonia voices so I can have articles read to me in the car, but also so I could use other apps and bits and pieces. Bluetooth would be amazing then I could connect to car but not necessary. I'm not scared of hacking it to do so.

I liked the look of KOBO aura and KOBO glo but no sound. I looked at ONYX book c65 but people said it was unreliable. I just cant find anything that fits the bill.

Really I would like it to have.

E-ink display
Android OS
Audio
Bluetooth (Not Necessary but would be amazing)

Any ideas ?
