My PRS-505 Needs to be Replaced :(

I own an Kindle 1 and Sony PRS-505. Between the two readers, I've been happy and pretty much decided to wait until January after all the announcements to upgrade either.

So having passed the temptation to upgrade my Kindle (for the better screen), my Sony's keys are starting to fail. Go figure.

So now I'm looking for a replacement for my Sony:
- Was very interested in the Pocketbook 360 but given there are devices coming out with better screens at the same price, it doesn't make sense unless I can get one in the $100-$115.
- Very interested in the new Sony (Pocket or Touch) but they feel overpriced given I really don't care about the touch screen.
- I love the Kindle 3 but will wailt for my K1 to die before getting another Kindle

Must haves:
- SD card capability or at least 2 GB storage
- collections or folders
- good battery life
- e-ink screen
- good support for epub and Adobe ADE
- portability (ability to carry in my handbag)
- Reliable/well-made
- good vendor support
~~
Would like to have
- I prefer page turn keys on the side as well as lower
- I prefer a user replaceable battery
- The ability to fit a lighted cover (i know the 360 doesn't meet this which is why I didn't get one months ago).

Suggestions? If I find great deal on used, I may even go that route and wait it out as planned. Otherwise, it will probably be new.
