Yeah there is nothing at the moment that beats eInk in that area.

No I haven't forgoten your req. There are android devices with 2", 3", 4", 5", 7", 8",....etc you get my point size screens. I just happen to pick a 7" as an example since that was what I had. My requirement was the biggest screen that will fit in my back pocket. And the nook was it.

No your not and all of your requirements are all reasonable. But as I mentioned on my first post, you've spec'ed yourself out of an ebook reader. You're going to have to give on one of your requirements. I'm just trying to figure out what you are willing to give.

And grumbling, because the industry has failed to provide exactly the features I want all in one device, dammit. (And while I'm at it, I want a pony.)
Well honestly I think the EZ Reader 5" is the device for you, but honestly the PRS 350 is still a great device.
