And, in my opinion, you would do well to buy it now, just like those who bought the Amazon Kindle in 2007 and did not wait for the Kobo Libra 2 (or the next future marvel).
That said, I think that all the options provided in previous posts (including the Onyx Boox Tab Mini C) seem to me to be adequate.

I would agree with much of what you are saying except that, IMNSHO, the value added by colour is not worth the price. The colour with a Kaleido 3 screen is not even at the level of comic books and the colour has 150DPI resolution with it's need for 4 pixels and a colour filter layer and the colour with a Gallery 3 screen while having a better colour gamut and 300DPI resolution needs 1500ms to refresh the screen for the best colour level. Add in the lower contrast of the colour display—the latest eInk B&W screens have a much whiter screen than the Kaleido with it's colour filter layers and a contrast ratio of ~10 or the Gallery 3 which needs to use all three colours for a "black" giving a contrast ratio of 14 (a 40% increase over the Kaleido 3 display).
