Is there currently any Android device, preferably a phone, out there, that is suitable as a pocket-ereader, or am I just out of luck without a dedicated e-ink device?

I just recently read a statistic where a large portion of the eBook market where phone readers. I'm not sure where you've heard reading on the phone is bad. I've had different screen size devices 3", 4", 6", 7". I've read full books on all of them and there is not much difference, unless you need huge fonts or are an extremely fast reader. Lager screen size does improve the reading for PDF however.
However is one of your requirments is reading in direct sunlight only eInk devices can do that today. There is no phone or tablet that can be used to read in direct sunlight.
