Just for fun, I took out my old Kindle Keyboard last night and after charging it for a VERY long time it fired up. I was delighted with the simplicity of the interface. Just my books, no "Home Screen", no "Recommendations". Nothing else going on, no resemblance to a tablet or a smartphone whatsoever. I was also totally comfortable with navigating using the keyboard. I was even happy with the lighted case (which still worked!). However, the weight of the device in that case was too much. Also, the thing only has 2gb storage and I have a big library.
Is there any device out there that has:
*A front lit, 6-7" e-ink screen
*At least 4gb
*No connection to any store
*No options to anything other than read (leaves out Android e-inks)
*Ability to sort into collections
*Ability to create and export highlights
I'm comfortable using Calibre and have all my books liberated and stored in my Calibre library.
Of course, I would like the display and the formatting to look nice.
Thanks.

The closet you will get is a Kobo Libra 2 with the patches. It's the closest to what tyou want as you'll be able to get.
