Hey everybody,

Just tired of amazon's horrible UI on my Kindle Oasis and want to find something better. Unfortunately, my KOA 3 has updated to 5.16.2.1, so I can't root it up.

I need your advice for these requirements:

1) Yellow \ white backlight.
2) Open \ possibly rooted system, so I can use folder system for books, and (possibly) install Cool Reader or KOReader.
3) Replaceble battery - because Oasis is non reparable sh... and after few years goes strait to trash.
4) Phisical buttons - optionally, because better buttons that in Kindle 4 I've never met((
5) Decent display - optionally too, I can hadle bad dispay, if everything else is ok.

Currently I'm hinking about Oasis 2016, it can be rooted and has a replacable batter.
Or maybe some modern readers like KOBO or Barnes & Noble are better?
