That would be a nice device!
Out of all the e-readers I have had, the closest one to ideal, for me, is the Onyx Boox Kepler Pro. eInk, 6 in. display, backlit, 1gb ram, 16 gb internal storage, microSD card slot, and the Onyx firmware is based on Android. Has Google Play and Onyx reading apps, but you can install your own. Page turn buttons. Only drawback for me? The firmware is based on Android 4.0.4. That's fine for some apps I use, but too old for at least one I'd love to use with eInk.
The Glowlight 3 is based on Android 4.4.2. Its hardware is not as good as the Kepler Pro's. Also, no sd card slot and partitioned storage. If I just want to read eBooks, however, the Glowlight is fine. That adjustable light is easy on the eyes.
