I broke my Sony PRS-T1, which had been playing up for a while to be honest, and am currently travelling India (then SE Asia) for an indeterminate amount of time and need a replacement so I can keep up reading without buying and logging around big, heavy paper books!

Requirements:
Android Rootable (see below)
MicroSD card slot (16GB capable at least.)
Available with quick lead time from in India, so from amazon.in or ebay.in (although Amazon seems to do nothing but Kindle, and only the old version, in this country!)
E-Ink or similar screen for easy reading and long battery life.

Would be nice to have:
Lit screen.

Why do I want Android rootable? Aardict with offline Wikipedia (which I have already downloaded although it always crashed my T1 for some reason) and QuickDic dictionaries for Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Vietnamese, Laos etc etc dictionaries for my travels.

No lit screen but the Sony PRS-T2 is available on Ebay. I think it has been Rooted from my quick reading... I have no idea about Kobo or the plethora or other eReaders available and my internet connection here is VERY bad (I get to load about three or four pages and then often lose connection for 5-10 minutes) so really can not do the research myself right now! Suggestions and comments very much appreciated.
