The problem is, as you have found, any e-ink readers that try to be tablets (that you can browse the web with, check facebook, emails etc) aren't so easy to work with as a standard tablet, and they are certainly not readily available to buy in the UK. I think the OnyX Boox would have worked for you (Onyx is mentioned on the Adobe Digital Editions pages as being a supported device), but I wonder if you'd be better just settling on using a tablet or smartphone with those night-time apps like f.lux or twilight for your web & social media needs, and then just buy a standard e-reader for reading books? Something like the Kobo Glo HD would be fine, the soon to be released Kobo Aura One is bigger and better if that interests you.
The other option as already mentioned by Josieb1 is to learn how to remove the DRM from the books you buy from Google Play (its not particularly difficult and is a good way of 'protecting' your books - and then you would be able to load them onto anything that reads epubs, even the Inkbook would accept them.
