For the "offers easy navigation of a large library" point, you said that the Kobo and Nook do a good job of this. Are Kindles cumbersome to use with lots of books on the device? I would have thought the physical keypad would make it easy to search for genres, tags, authors, and so on.
If I eliminated the need for wifi, would your recommendations change?

I read the library as wanting to loan library books which is why I mentioned the Nook and Sony. If you mean a personal library they all have some type of filing system now. I have not had a problem with the Kindles collection feature. It works well for me. I don't know enough to speak to the Nook or Sony.
And I read the light as you wanted a backlight device like the IPhone. I use a headlamp to read at night and it works great.
I would not get a device without Wifi. I think I would not get a device without the 3G. I don't use the internet or wikipedia or anything like that. I do like the flexibility of buying a book when I want and downloading it.
Price wise, there are some readers out there that are less expensive then a Kindle, Nook, or Kobo without the WiFi but I don't know much about them. The closest a Sony comes to meeting your needs close to the price point you listed is the 350 but it has no WiFi and it is a 5 inch screen.
