Thank you all! While the Onyx looks amazing and I'd be willing to reconsider the Voyage, they are both above my budget. It looks like I'll go for one of the Pocketbook models or I'll bite the bullet and buy an older used model like another old Kindle or perhaps the "
TrekStor eBook Reader Pyrus" which looks like just what I want.
Thanks everyone for the help. Hopefully one day they'll release new models more like the older readers again.

Yeah I wouldn't believe that either, my buttons are just like on the first day despite heavy reading since day 1. Buttons usually hold for millions of presses, just like on keyboards. It's the casing of the device itself that is breaking apart for me (cracks in the plastic) and not the buttons
Without having proof for it I'd expect a touchscreen to give out long before any buttons ever will.
