OK. Here is my dream machine:
Five inch, front lit e-ink in a form factor similar to a mobile phone.
With physical buttons.
Rugged, waterproof.
Either with an Android (without the usual crap pre-installed) so I can install whatever app I like, or with system as good as PocketBook had in their PB360°.

I have been using Onyx InkPhone 43 for a few months and despite serious hardware and software shortcomings it is my favorite e-ink reader. The form-factor alone is worth it.
