No internet connectivity and frontlit are a joint number 1 must have, so sadly the Kobos are off the list (unless any of the older generations were frontlit and lacking wifi?). Thanks for the suggestions though
The only one I know of (personally) is the PocketBook PB615 (Russian version). You may be able to find one in the used market — the only outward differences I can tell between it and the Basic Lux (also a PB615) is that the 4-way button "highlight" was green on the PB615 (Russian) and the PB615 Basic Lux had an orange "highlight." And, if you see the default screen, the Russian "PB615" is labeled that way, not as a "Basic Lux." That said, if you bought a PocketBook Basic Lux, you could open it up and disconnect the WiFi module from the main board. (I'm guessing you could probably do the same with the Basic Lux 2 and Basic Lux 3 — now the current model). Since PocketBooks are big sellers in Russia I'm guessing Cryllic wouldn't be problem.
