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 ?
With sound? No. The Sony T1 has sound and can be rooted, but the available memory make it a poor E-ink tablet.

I am not aware of any e-ink device with blue-tooth. You could check out Earl.

If you forget blue-tooth and sound, the Nook ST is the best Android OS e-reader option that I know off. Onyx might be better, but I've never handled one. Hard to get in the Kindle dominated N.America.
