Easy annotations in an ereader?

Hello,

I'm thinking about buying a new ereader which would allow me to annotate texts while reading.

For some time I've been happily using Hanlin V3 with OpenInkpot firmware, and love its wide range of file formats and settings, but it lacks the possibility of annotations. Now and then I read a text - usually not a proper book, but something written by me or one of my friends - and need to take short notes while reading. Paper & pencil are a solution too, but a bit clumsy one.

I know there are readers out there that can annotate, but I guess I need some details.

So, I'm looking for a reader that:
- has a decent 6" screen
- allows annotations, ideally in .doc files, but I'm okay with RTF or HTML or whatever I can easily convert
- either by a physical keybord or touchscreen, I'm open to both options so far, but appreciate any views on this
- what about exporting those notes to a computer?
- it would be nice if it worked well with google docs - I have some issues with displaying them properly in my reader (italics gets lost, and I need it)

No, I don't want a tablet, most of the time I only read. But I'd like to find out how much of this can be done on a current ereader.

Anyone can help?
