I know the more obvious choices is the Kindle, but if I had my druthers, would rather not enter that world.

Thanks in advance for your input.
I suggest you reconsider the Kindle in light of your requirements. Especially the ability to add notes and highlight.

Take a look at this video comparison for more info about several of your requirements. At around the 7:00 mark, he starts comparing the Nook and the K2 for dictionary, highlighting, and bookmarking, etc.

Here's a YouTube comparison of Sony PRS-950, Kindle 3, and Nook.

Sony PRS-650 vs K3

In addition, I've read that Amazon.com has THE most complete and available IT and reference books of any of the stores.

Good luck in your quest.
