I would like an ebook reader that is

1. backlit ( I haven't noticed any problems with eye strain),
2. possible to switch from black on white to white on black ( maybe why eye strain is not a problem on hTC),
3 readable outside on sunny days,
4. about 6-7 inch preferred

Is such a combination possible?

Sorry, those aren't available.

The only type of backlit screens that are easily readable in daylight are transflective ones. These can be found in high end PDA's (4 to 5") or the Adam, which has a PixelQi screen (which is based on transflective technology). But that is only in 10" format and I can't even remember one store that is selling it.
