Hi guys, found this site through whirlpool as i am in the market for an ebook reader. I reside in Australia so can anyone recommend me a store that ships internationally?
To cut the chase, here's what i am looking for my dream "ebook"

Will be used to read books and the majority of my ebooks are in PDF/text/words format.
Need one that has the latest E-ink technology as previously my eyes killed me from constantly reading from my smartphone (bright LCD screen is not the way to read imho)
I don't mind the slow refresh rate but when it refresh the screen it changes to a different colour (normally black) and that i find annoying and will wreck my eye..is there a way to change this in the settings?.would prefer that when you flicker through each pages, the screen goes blank then ink appears?
Looking for anything under 500..
Learning toward the Sony Reader (PRS-505)....i dont mine converting all my files to the sony format but what is that format?
Any other recommendation for quality ebook reader?
i dont need stuff like mp3, wireless etc..but definitely need an external card slot (SD card)
