There is NO device currently available that fully meets ALL of your listed requirements.
You listed 'color' as number 3 on your list, and that's why the recommendations are leaning towards an iPad or Android tablet.
If you want color, then a tablet is currently your best bet, as eInk devices in color are not yet widely available, and will not meet several of your other requirements.
With a tablet the only compromises are that 'good battery life' is going to be limited to 5 to 8 hours, not days or weeks, and daylight viewing is going to require you to find a shaded spot.
The only other option is something like the Sony PRS-X50 readers, but they are black and white eInk devices, and so they fail to meet several of your other criteria.
Here's a checklist of how these two options would stack up to your requirements list -
iPad or Android Tablet -
- touchscreen
- YES
- good battery life
- 5 to 8 hours
- color
- YES
- able to read any PDF
- YES
- quality design and strong hardware
- YES
- I want that shiney pageflipping effect whih the Galaxy Tab has.
- YES
- a nice case which is not just for show...
- YES
- "I want it shiney". Good menu effects without any hinderance to the speed of the OS. (Id hate lags and slowdowns..)
- YES
- Daylight Readable
- Marginal
Sony PRS-x50 -
- touchscreen
- YES
- good battery life
- 1 to 2 weeks
- color
- NO
- able to read any PDF
- YES (but screen is too small for comfortable full page view)
- quality design and strong hardware
- YES
- I want that shiney pageflipping effect whih the Galaxy Tab has.
- NO (eInk screen has SLOOOW refresh)
- a nice case which is not just for show...
- YES
- "I want it shiney". Good menu effects without any hinderance to the speed of the OS. (I hate lags and slowdowns..)
- NO
- Daylight Readable
- Yes (very good)
