My beloved Clara HD is dying.

I love my Kobo Clara HD but the battery is about to give up the ghost. I bought it in Canada when I was visiting back in 2018. I need a new e-ink 6" reader. I have a basic Kindle - God, I hate it - I bought it so I can read books from authors who persist on self-pubbing on Amazon.

My choice is limited due to not being able to buy many brands locally in Israel where I live. I don't want to order online from overseas, not only because a warranty wouldn't be valid here, but also I would have to pay VAT (if it costs over US$150) and possibly other taxes on the import.

Kindles are available here. The other brand that is easily available is Onyx Boox. I have been looking at the Go6 but a lot of reviews say the battery isn't good, otherwise it's a decent e-reader if you only want to read text based books, which is what I want.

So, before I pay a small fortune for a 6" e-ink Boox Go6, I would like opinions, please.
