I have an old Boox M92 that has served me well but is getting long in the tooth after 10 years.

I don't care much for note taking or touchscreen features since it's mostly for reading novels, technical documents and datasheets and possibly light browsing on occasion, but a better screen of roughly the same size or larger (the M92 has a 9.7" e-ink Perl at 1200x825) would be much appreciated.

I already have a regular tablet, but this would be for situations where I can be without access to power for weeks at a time so the ridiculous battery life that comes with e-paper devices is preferred.

A keyboard case could be an interesting option, but not a necessity. I'd rather stay away from the closed Kindle ecosystem but if their support for epub and pdfs has improved I could reconsider. Wifi is a nice-to-have, so is USB-C due to how fragile the micro-Bs are.

What would be everyone's suggestions and recommendations? I haven't kept up with e-reader developments so I don't know much of what's current.
