Hey gang!

I'm in the "what should I buy" stage of the game. I'm computer savvy but a noob when it comes to e-readers. I had an Augen for about 2 days but, I returned it when the battery failed to charge... still been looking for the right E-Reader since.

What I am looking for:
*PDFs, Word Files or the availability to convert Word to something legible and without losing the format or having it look all funky. I'm an avid fanFiction reader and almost all of us Fic readers have our files in Word format.
*Ability to read in sunlight.
*Something that doesn't chug battery life
*wifi would be nice but it's not a requirement.
*quick page turns
*ability to book mark or highlight although, I'm happy with it being able to just bookmark a page.
*a major thing is for the device not to be locked onto one book seller. I would like to purchase books from different locations.
*library rentals would be nice as well but not a major requirement.
*I would like to be able to use purchased downloads on multiple devices - e-reader, blackberry or droid. (currently have a BB, might switch to 'droid, we'll see )

What I don't need:
*don't care if it's colour or not.
*don't care if it's touch screen or not.
*don't need a keyboard.
*don't care if it plays music or not


One thing, I do not want a Kindle. I've read that it's a very restricting reader.

Sooooo, hopefully that can help me narrow it down.
Thanks guys!!
Jackie
