Does it HAVE to be new?
Your best bet is to get a secondhand 10in Onyx Note Pro device and suffer the short term financial pain, which probably doesn't actually need to be that bad. If you're reading a lot of books, consider the time you're going to spend with this device. As you know from your Kindle DX, they can last a good long time if you look after them. So a raid of the piggybank is worth it when you get hours of enjoyment out of it.
Onyx Note Pro seem to go for around $250-$300 in the US based on the eBay completed search. I'd suggest a Pro rather than an earlier model because then you can use the frontlight, just enough to whiten the background to give you paper-like contrast for you in ordinary daylight, but not so much that it will give you migraines. ( Looking at it, it should look like the backlight isn't on unless you compare with an 'off' device.)
Most people do look after their eReaders, many just don't use them. You just need to set up a search on eBay to email you when one appears.. and then be patient. It's just not worth compromising in your situation with a smaller screen. I have a Forma and decent eyesight and I'd always read PDF on my Boox, even if the Forma is my go to eReader for text... good luck!
