4 Must-Haves
1. E-ink, not a tablet
2. Optimal for reading in the dark without blue light, dimmable
3. Physical buttons
4. Hackable/Jailbreakable/Rootable
5. Waterproof
4 Nice-to-Haves
1. Wireless side-loading, kludge/hack/dropbox is ok
2. Larger than 6” screen
3. Good PDF-reading experience, whether via hack to get reflow, big screen or native
4. Ability to sync with an e-book and/or audiobook reader on my iPhone
I’m a Mac/iPhone user if that matters.
Thanks!

The PocketBook InkPad Pro 3 would meet most of these requirements (including 7.8" screen, the HD3 would also work, but it has a 6" screen). (It also has text to speech.) Not sure about rooting — I think it can be rooted, but it's Linux not Android, so I don't know what you would do with it. It does flow PDF to text, but I don't know how well (this is something I don't do on an eReader). You have the choice of both the PocketBook Cloud or Dropbox built-in. It does sync to the iPhone via its app and has free Cloud service.
