That PocketBook Inkpad X is exactly teh sort of thing I'd buy
But I'd probably buy it sub $100. I'd definately buy it at $50.
I just bought a kindle on offer at $50 just to test. I don't like the vendor lock in. The Pocketbook epub3 audio-ebook support looks really cool.
But $500 is just too much. It seems prices are just sky high at the moment.
Conclsuion: I'm not going to wait. I've ordered an eink phone and I'll hold out for bigger eink screens for non reflowable pdfs etc.

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.
