Had a Paperwhite 3 for years, looking for upgrade with a good screen

Hey all!

I've owned a Paperwhite 3 since I got it as a gift in 2017, it's all I've had when it comes to e-readers, and it's been a blast. I love the paper-like screen, having hundreds of books in a single device, etc.

But as new devices have come I've grown interested in getting an upgrade (things like waterproofing, orange light, bigger screen). The PW4 didn't interest me much since it wasn't that much of an upgrade I felt like, but the PW5 has certainly caught my eye with all its features, and it looks like a great device. My only worry is that according to some reviews I've seen, the screen isn't very sharp due to the flush screen compared to devices with sunken screen. Everything else I'm fine with.

I've seen other well-known e-readers like the Kobo or Onyx, but I don't know much about them, so any input is welcome!

Things I don't care much for:

-Audiobooks
-Huge storage space
-The Amazon store (I mostly read sideloaded books, which I convert with Calibre)

Things important to me:

-Screen quality/sharpness
-Orange light (I mostly read during the evening/night, so I'm really interested in this)
-Bigger screen (looking to jump up from my 6" screen)
-Customization (adding my own fonts, editing things like margins, spacing, the more customizable the better.)

My budget is $200.
