You can get a Kobo Libra H2O is waterproof and has a 7" screen. It's more expensive then a Kindle PW4 and cheaper then a Kindle Oasis. It's a better Reader then either because it has much better firmware.

With Calibre and a the DeDRM plugin, you can liberate your eBooks and side load them to the Kobo. With Calibre, the eBook management on the Kobo is very good. On the Kindle, meh!

So I do suggest you add to your budget if you can and get the better Reader. The Libra H2O has buttons and is fairly open without the need to jailbreak. Also, it handles ePub. It ticks most of your boxes. More then a Kindle would.

The only thing that's not ticked with Kobo or Amazon is expandable storage. 8GB is more then enough to store more eBooks then you could read.
