If portability is your main concern, I only have 2 recommendations:
- CyBook Opus. Beautifully designed and very positive reviews.
- PocketBook 360. I slightly prefer the design of CyBook Opus, mainly because of PocketBook's ugly "butterfly buttons". BUT: PocketBook 360 does have an advanced version of FBReader. My most favorite feature: You can turn pages by using the G-sensor. Slightly turn your wrist to the left or right and pages turn forwards respectively backwards. Highly configurable.
Both 5" = most portable units out there.

Worth considering as well, although very expensive: Dell Streak is extremely portable as well. And with the recent update to 2.2, it's equal to Samsung Galaxy Tab performance-wise (even seems to be a bit more stable than Samsung Galaxy Tab).

Congrats to the Galaxy Tab. You won't regret it.
