Ebook with good support for code listings

Advise actually a subject.
Before that, there was PocketBook 360, it displayed all the code in a standard font and reset line indents, which made thematic books almost unreadable.
Once I watched one of the Kindles, it was also not sweet there.
Now I want to find a reading room where it will be comfortable to read not only fiction, but also books / articles on programming.

What you need is not an e-book, but a tablet, like the Kindle Fire HD. If you take the 8 inch version, you can put EbookDroid there - it will be Djvu with a bunch of settings, such as cropping edges and optimizing rendering modes. I read the same PDFs through a regular Adobe Reader on an old Kindle Fire - though in landscape orientation and in pieces of a page - in some places it is even more convenient. But in general, in a book version with cropped edges, it is also comfortable to read.
All listings on the color screen in the above software will of course work.
And by the way, the Eink book is not suitable for technical literature. They are usually not very fast, but Djvu and PDF with a bunch of pictures, multi-colored listings, etc. very load percent during processing.
The only option is expensive fast readers on android, with a processor of at least 1 GHz. Well, you need a lot of RAM for DJVU (with scans). Because the book itself weighs under 30-200 MB, so you also need to turn the pages, resize, cut, etc.

As mentioned above, nook simple touch will do. And an e-link screen, and an android tablet with all kinds of reading applications.

Give, please, an example of the text and describe how it should be. Of all the ways for listing, I find in the readers only selection in italic / bold and indents.
On Kindles, just in case, you can make monospaced text.

The text on the first link opens perfectly in the Kindle browser in article mode, scrolls quickly, words and code are readable. In general, yes, you can’t get the text for reading just like that, only manual editing with tricky tag replacements. Look towards the android (for example, nook) and specialized programs for it.

I'll pick such a delicious corpse.
How are things going on the subject at the moment?
Maybe something has changed drastically since then, something better than Kindle or NST?
