.pdf

Would be good:
.epub (mostly non DRM)
I was looking ideally for a 6" reader but most important to me is that I am not required to email documents of the above formats to some address so that I can get them converted to download (I have set a kindle up for my mother's christmas present and it took all my will not to chuck it out of the window from sheer frustration at getting her .doc files onto the thing without having to pay out a fortune for accidentally not including .free. in the email addy). I am happy to run conversions on a PC but find the incessant emailing given file limits a major turn-off with a reader as I get through content very quickly and would rather spend my time reading than getting content onto my reader. Equally I use my PC as my hub for content and so have no need for WiFi or 3G for the reader (although if they are included that's great).
Could you please let me know which if any of your systems conform to these criteria and if none do, which comes closest?
Many thanks

For this bundle of formats, BeBook One would be the one to go for.
I don't like the design/"touch and feel", but the firmware and featureset is one of the best. There's even a modified firmware, allowing for more than 1 DRM file format (DRMed .prc/.mobi + DRMed .ePUB/.pdf at once).
