Personally, I don't find a backlit screen to be necessary or desirable for an ebook reader. If you were to drop that requirement then there'd be many devices that might interest you.
Actually a UMPC might work if you are satisfied with reading PDF a half page at a time and while they themselves might be running windows or Linux they could still be mac friendly since all they need to do is mount the memory as a USB hard drive.

Dropping the idea of a backlit opens up one eBook Reader. The iLiad as it is the only one that will reasonably read PDF files of the type you specified and then it is likely you may have to read the 1/2 page at a time. The others are too small.
