Torwan, the Kindle3 fits your needs quite well.

Pdf-files can be a problem on every 6"/15 cm device because they are mostly prepared for displaying an A4-sized page (~ 36cm). I've read many pdf-files in landscape mode on a 6" device, it's possible, but far from perfect.
How important is reading pdf-files for you? Will you mostly read novels or text books?

Alternatives? Sony 650 and Bebook Neo but they both don't fit your price range. Or, if reading pdf-files is very important, a 9,7" device like Pocketbook 902/3 or Onyx 90/91. But they cost a lot more.
