6" e-ink tablet with Pocket support?
I'm in the market for a new a tablet.

Must have
  • 6" body
  • E-ink screen
  • Can run the Pocket app. (Must be the app. No sending articles one-way)
  • Can load my own .epub files

Nice to have
  • Runs Android 5.0+, or can be hacked to run Android 5.0+
  • Physical buttons
  • Doesn't show me ads

Currently, I use the Onyx Boox Poke, but Pocket has ended support for the Poke's OS, Android 4.4, so now I sadly have to buy a new tablet. (The Poke can't be hacked to run Android 5, IIUC.)

The Poke 3 ticks all my boxes, but comes in at $230. Are there any cheaper options? Would love to find out that someone has hacked an old Kobo or Nook to run Android 5.0. Thanks!
