I want something easier on the eye. I considered the HisenseA5Pro but I don't like the Chinese spyware and debloating it looks too risky for the price. I found a cheaper rando eInk chinese phone for $60 but I'm not sure about this either.
My question is: Do I wait longer on the basis that something could could come out next year? By something good I mean:
1) something a lot cheaper A4 size
2) an eInk laptop
3) something phone sized?
I know you don't have a crystal ball but if anywhere can guess it's got to happen here. I kind of think ereaders have to be more in demand with covid-19?

First you need to set a price range.
Second what tech you're looking for.
Third, what are you looking for; a multifunction device or a reading-only gadget.
Fourth, what's your choice in ebook formats/sources.
As for future products, they will come but not in the form of an eink multifunction device. Even existing chinese android readers aren't great at much beside reading. Android apps expect color and fast screens.
If you prefer multifunction and the budget aligns, you might do better with an iPad or a Surface. If you want just an ereader, you might want to look at Pocketbook.
Something like the 10.4" InkPad X.
