I'm looking for suggestions for a new ereader. I have two bricked prs-t1 and one that still works, though is a little flaky.
Requirements:

eink (paper white?)

works well with Calibre. I've had no problem loading book and getting them displayed the way I want them displayed, ie author, [series, series number] title.

Collection/shelves are by author. I currently have over 128 collections on my SONY.

Prefer a way to in bulk mark the books read so when I setup the new device I don't spend a day marking each of my 500+ ebooks read.

Should in theory allow 25 hours + reading between charges. The SONY can go a couple weeks with 'moderate' use.

I last experimented with nook and Kobo about 3 years ago and had trouble with both getting books sorted and/or marked read.

Prefer Android with ability to be rooted.

Prefer to avoid Kindle.

All my books are DRM free. I only buy books from Baen who only distributes DRM free books. To date, all my experiences with DRM have ended up in failure to get the book to work.

I prefer physical buttons like the SONY rather then swipes.

Some of my requirements are from vision problems and others from some nerve problems from back surgery.

Thanks!
