You might try googling "electronic Bibles", which are essentially specialized ereaders for the Bible, with features specific to Bible study. Franklin, I know, has been making them for at least a generation, and I see prices ranging from $25 (KJV only, of course) to $150. But I'm not sure if there are any with all the features you're looking for.
For home study on your PC, others are right -- e-sword is by far the best thing out there.
The best thing about e-sword is that it's free, and there is no end of translations (in dozens of languages; many have built-in Strong's numbers) and study materials (a couple dozen commentaries, nearly as many dictionaries and concordances, devotionals, maps, even the complete Church Fathers), and a lively community continuously producing more.
The worst thing about e-sword is that it's free, which means it depends on out-of-copyright (i.e., very old) study materials. Most of the translations are quite old as well. Though I see you
can also purchase a few modern translations and study materials.
The only other thing to be aware of is that the study materials are heavily evangelical. If that's your persuasion, you'll be in heaven (figuratively!); if not, you'll find the study materials a bit disappointing. Still, for Catholics, e-sword has full support for the deuterocanonicals, and there are several translations available that include them (Vulgate, Douay-Rheims, KJV, RSV; there's even a copyright-violating NAV module); for study materials (aside from the Catholic Catechism, which I believe is available) Catholics will have to look elsewhere.
