BTW, if ergonomics are your top priority, do consider the Pocketbook 360, currently on sale for US$129. It is a very light 5in reader exactly the size of a CD case that meets all your requirements (micro SDHC rather than straight SD) and has the best one-handed use balance of any product on sale today. You can operate the entire interface with your thumb. Check the reviews at the Pocketbook forum; its owners tend to be very pleased with it. (*I* am.)

Yes, I've heard that you can flip the page without actually pressing a button, because of the accelerometer. That could be useful to someone with arthritic fingers or limited mobility, I'm guessing.
