Your best bet for social networking, emails, and web surfing is a tablet. The cheap Amazon ones have blue-shade which is very good but that wouldn't work for your Google Play books. But the £50 Fire (which is £40 ATM) and a Kobo ereader might be a good compromise. Or go for a proper android tablet and use Twikight of flux to minimise blue light. I use Twilight on my Samsung.

I don't think one single device will give you what you want. In your position I would buy the Amazon Fire, probably the 16GB version which is £50 right now, and a Kobo GLO HD ereader. Then I would google how to remove Adibe DRM and install Calibre on my PC, then load the Google play books into Calibre and then onto the kobo.
