Jetbook or Jetbook light beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Unlike many other popular readers it does not use a E-ink display. However its reflective TFT screen has no flash at page turn, and is quite snappy. Doesn't do color, but it has good contrast. Can read equally well in full sunlight down to a single candle. (Woke up with no power this morning, sat and read by candlelight till it came on)
And at 5" some feel it is small, although that doesn't seem to bother those of use who love it. Its very portable, has 6 font sizes. Switch's from portrait to landscape mode at the touch of a button.

It can read an incredibly wide range of formats, has no wireless, or wifi, but it does have a SD slot capable of holding most people's entire library.

Best of all only you will know what you care to put on it.
Having access to a PC of some sort is probably a must for adding books.

Check out the jetbook forum here at MR to learn more.
