Yotaphone 2.
It is a standard Android 4.4 phone that you can update to Android 5.0. I did update mine and I am very happy with it as a pocket reader. There is standard updater available from manufacturer, no hacking or rooting required.
I think that all programs and BT keyboards and suchlike should work just like on any other generic Android device.
Yotaphone 2 has 4.7 inch e-ink display on the back side. You can use dedicated e-book reading app here, or use various apps (such as clock, calendar, status indicator) built for this "always-on" display, OR mirror the main display. So you can use any app on the e-ink.
The e-ink display is not front-lit. When in poor lightning conditions you are supposed to use the 5" AMOLED on the other side.
There are last few pieces available from TinyDeal for about 130Eur. This price includes European VAT - they have it in their EU warehouse. They have been selling the YotaPhone 2 for this fire-sale price for some 6 months now and at the moment it is sold-out at the Gearbest and other Chinese servers.
