Hi there, I'm having a lot of trouble finding the kind of reader that I'm looking for. The industry seems to be busy making bigger and more expensive readers with more features that I'm not interested in.
I don't want one of those silly 3G-enabled devices with all sorts of useless bells and whistles; if I wanted that, I'd just get a tablet.

Here is specifically what I want:

E-Ink/E-Paper display
No extra screens tacked on
No 3G
Removable standard storage (SD, not Sony proprietary BS)[/COLOR]

Would also prefer:

No WiFi
USB Connectivity
Good battery life
Replaceable battery
Somewhat small
Easy to read in sunlight/not glossy

Is there anything at all that matches up with what I want?
I just want something I can put e-books on and read them conveniently. I don't need to be able to find them from the reader and type on it and surf the web with it from Starbucks.

Thanks!
