In fact, to the OP: If you let go of your requirement for eInk (an issue only if you plan to read outdoors, and even then workable), the Nook Color meets your requirements quite nicely.
I think that what Harry is trying to say is that the screen is too small for most PDF documents. And I can confirm that. Even with some Sony models, landscape mode won't enlarge enough and yo need to keep zooming in and out which after a few minutes becomes annoying to say the least, affecting the overall reading experience .

The Nook Color is too small and out of the box, the default PDf reader is awful. It does not even remember last page read. That's so basic and missing? ...

If eink is not a must, any 10 inch tablet, let's say iPad with Goodreader app on it, handles PDFs better and faster, giving you capabilities and speed that no eink reader offers on the market right now.

But, if eink is so important, the Kindle DXG gives you a good balance between screen size and PDF features. Granted, the editing and PDF features are not as good as Sony, but it's 10 inches, you won't have to rely on zooming most of the times.

The stock Nook color is awful for PDFs. It does not remember last page read. That's so basic and it's absent from the stock NC.
