I'm in the market for a new a tablet.

Must have

6" body
E-ink screen
Can run the Pocket app. (Must be the app. No sending articles one-way)
Can load my own .epub files

Nice to have

Runs Android 5.0+, or can be hacked to run Android 5.0+
Physical buttons
Doesn't show me ads

Currently, I use the Onyx Boox Poke, but Pocket has ended support for the Poke's OS, Android 4.4, so now I sadly have to buy a new tablet. (The Poke can't be hacked to run Android 5, IIUC.)

The Poke 3 ticks all my boxes, but comes in at $230. Are there any cheaper options? Would love to find out that someone has hacked an old Kobo or Nook to run Android 5.0. Thanks!
