  • 6" e-ink display
  • SD card support
CyBook Gen 3, Sony, Kindle, Hanlin, EBBook
  • Decent library navigation
Jetbook, iLiad (both have full nested folder support)
Sony 505 (has collections and by Author grouping)
  • Preferably mobipocket support
CyBook, iLiad only
  • Dictionary integration
CyBook, Jetbook, Kindle (not sure if iliad should be listed here)
  • Good customer support
Sony, Kindle
  • Firmware updates for bug fixes and new features as time goes on
All devices will have this.
  • Decent PDF reading (I know none of these are really great with PDFs though)
iLiad

There is also the Astak mentor but it is looking like it won't really be avialable until the fall. (They just updated to July/August).
