Cybook Gen3 is a very nice e-reader, very simple to use, extremly light.
Books are put on the Gen3 by means of a USB connection with your PC.
It will show up as an extra disk and then it's just a matter of copying the content to the map "eBooks" on that disk. No wifi, no touchscreen though, but all devices that have those features are more power-hungry and therefor require battery recharges far more often (which, over time also means they last less long, because most of these devices are not designed to allow the user to replace batteries themselves, and having them replaced is often too expensive to bother with).

Talking about PDF : keep in mind that PDF files tend to be very hard to read on a 6" devices. You'd need a bigger reader (8+ inch) if most of your content is going to be PDF.
