But let's be realistic: a tablet can't be read in the car (which is where I do a lot of my reading), and taking the darn thing on vacation is right out considering that it has about 4 hours of battery life for full-blown reading.

I don't need a new eInk reader in the slightest, but I would like to have a "whole solution" reader that meets my needs. However, in order to do that, I would need full PDF support (not this half-support that the N2 provides), and I would need sideloading from an SD card to be fully integrated with folder browsing.

I'm looking for the perfect device that has:

1. eInk screen
2. PDF support (pan, zoom, landscape)
3. ePub support (including landscape)
4. SD card expansion and integration with library (with folder browsing)
5. Touch screen for highlighting and notetaking (with export to text file option)
6. Physical page turn buttons

So far, nothing seems to offer this. My PocketBook 360 comes close (1, 3, 4, 6), but lacks good PDF support and touch integration. I had hoped this N2 would bridge the gap. Oh well. I'm disappointed, but what can you do.
The Sony PRS-950 or 650 sound like they fit your description quite well.
