3) Preferably <$300
If it needs to be rooted to accomplish this that is fine, I have an android phone which I have rooted and installed custom roms and recoveries.
Thanks for the help,

Honestly, it sounds to me like you're looking for a rooted NookColor that you could install some kind of word processing app on. You're not going to get that kind of battery life out of it, though... you'd need some kind of mobile charger. I saw the suggestion of a solar-powered one up above... maybe that would solve the battery issue?
I don't believe that any of the other readers, particularly the e-Ink ones have the composition features, though they have the battery life.
Good luck - hope you find something useful!
