Before I even got to this paragraph, I was wondering whether you've seen and handled an iPad Mini. It's a lovely little ereader for those who want full Libby/Hoopla capability, highly responsive handling, and are not wedded to e-ink. Very portable, less fragile than an eink device, battery life maybe isn't the same but is still very good. I've usually bought Apple certified refurbs for the discount but still full warranty.
The mini 6 weighs 297 grams. If you're not in a rush, they're well overdue for a bump, and hopefully any new one would have the M1 or M2 chip. Mind you, I'm still running the mini 4 and it's just fine for reading.
