What to get....

OK I've been lurking a bit and now that I've narrowed down my criteria, I need your help to help me pick a device.

First, I am open to both e-ink and LCD type devices. Here are my requirements:

1. Screen size must be larger than 4 inches. I have a Dell Axim x50 (3.5 inches) and I need to upgrade the size, which is prompting this thread.
2. Must be able to read tagged PDF's. I love the reflow on the Adobe Reader for Pocket PC, so something similar to that would be ideal. My collection is 90% PDF.
3. Must be able to support Gutenberg texts.
4. Battery should last more than 4 hours. I can deal with charging it every so often.
5. Cost: no more than $300

Here are some guidelines:
- I live in the US, travel abroad rarely
- I buy books occasionally from FictionWise
- I love to read at night, in the dark with no lights using a black screen and red letters (so the wife is not distrurbed)

Is there a new (or old) device that would work for me?

TIA!
