Replacement of old Kindle

Hi everyone,

I am looking for e-book reader, which I could replace my old Kindle 3G (keyboard). After nearly 6 years my old reader is stopping to work. So I am trying to search for some convinient replacement.

Fortunately I am not bind to Amazon by many books from Amazon store as I have copy of them in epub format. Also I have spend a lot of time to organize my huge library in Calibre so I would like to use it even with new model (I have books in epub and converted to mobi with pictures).
As I am daily traveling by underground where is no connection signal all books needs to be placed on device, also I am not really fan of being on Wi-fi 24/7.

To summarize it here is what I am searching for:
Required
  • Type of display: E-Ink
  • Size of display: Around 6"
  • HW buttons on side of display
  • Allows connection via Micro USB to computer (or any other type of USB cable)
  • 274 ppi or better

Other optional features/parametrs
  • Forelight - can be on model, but preferably if it could be possible to completely turn it off
  • Batery life - longer better

What I really don't care about
  • Waterproof/dustproof - don't care about it
  • 3G/4G/Wi-fi connectivity
  • Book store

Please note that I am from Europe.

Does anyone have reader to recommend?
