The Aura HD is a very good e-reader, has a very nice e-ink screen and probably fits your stated criteria (screen lighting for evening, e-ink screen for daytime, can load ePub books, has good battery performance). From what I've read (which is partly speculation and limited facts), the Aura H2O may be similar but with added water/sand/dust-proofing - but you'll have some months of waiting until it's available. The possibility of an Android OS (or any other feature) is currently unknown.

There will always be newer model e-readers coming to the market with their own features. It's a matter of deciding what you want and how long you're willing to wait.
