My current ereader is Boyue T62 that I had for a couple of years. I am still fairly happy with it, but would consider upgrading sometime this year if there is something viable. I haven't really been following what devices have been coming out in the last couple of years, or what is scheduled to come out, so would appreciate some advice.

My specifications:

-- TTS ability is a must. Bluetooth is better in addition to rather than instead of a proper headphone jack. This is my biggest sticking point.
-- I like physical buttons. I tried once a buttonless ereader, and it was skipping every other page, which made me swear off the entire experience.
-- I love Calibre Companion, so something with an open Android OS (either natively, or something that is relatively straightforward to jailbreak) would be preferred. Closed ecosystems make it harder to organize and search for the books.
-- Size doesn't particularly matter, but 6" is nice and handy, I don't have a particular need for something bigger.
