As the title implies, I currently have a Nook Simple Touch that I rooted when I first got it way back in 2012. It's been very good to me, but it's finally largely stopped working (and even before that, had hit the point where I couldn't add any new apps to it because the version of android was so old). So, time for something new!

Must-haves:
-e-ink
-customizability (I'm comfortable rooting/jailbreaking)
-Overdrive support (I run Linux, so I can't side-load from a PC - this was one of the things I most wished the Nook had)
-Some way of syncing files with it wirelessly

Nice-to-haves:
-Physical buttons
-Ability to install both Kindle and Nook apps

Budget is under $200. From my reading around, Inkbook and Onyx seem like they might have some stuff that fits the bill, or possibly a rooted Kindle Paperwhite?
