Pocket Sized e-Ink Reader?

I really love the flexibility and portability of my phone as an ereader, but it doesn't do so well in full sunlight, and the battery life on my phone is pretty crummy. What I'd really like is, well, my Nook Classic, but with a 4-5" screen and as little real estate as possible surrounding the screen. Does anyone know anything like that in the eink ereader world?

Major needs:

- .Epub support
- SD card support (slap in a library and go)
- e-ink screen
- battery life of 10+ hours of full use
- "pocket" sized

I haven't seen anything like this - checking out the Wikipedia list of e-readers, the smallest screens are 5" and the real estate surrounding the screen (buttons, casing, etc.) isn't non-trivial. I'm pretty sure this probably doesn't exist.... but I figure it doesn't hurt to ask.

The closest I've found is the Samsung Papyrus, but if the $300 price tag didn't give me cause to hesitate, the lack of sd slot (IIRC) most definitely would. Plus, as small as it is, it still isn't "pocket-sized" to my mind.

Thanks in advance for all comments.
