Which reader for best library management and in-book navigation?

Hello everybody,
at the moment I'm reading with an Archos 70b. I like it, it does, what it's supposed to do, but of course it's somewhat on the heavy side and battery life is awfully short. So I'm planning to buy an e-ink device.

I have quite a large ebook collection and spent some time in calibre to categorize and tag it. How do the most common ereaders compare when it comes to finding a certain book via tags or folder navigation?

A second point I am concerned about: I like to jump back and forth in a book while reading it. On my Archos (using the inbuild reader or CoolReader) I can jump directly to a page. I like the design of the Kobo, but as I understand in-book navigation is only by scrolling through the book, right? This sounds somewhat clumsy in larger books.

At the moment I am considering
# Kindle (although I would like a reader with native epub support and SD slot better)
# Kobo (best looks for me but don't know if I wouldn't like something with buttons better)
# Sony (don't like the looks)
# Pocketbook Pro 612 (quite expensive and not so stylish as Kobo but otherwise ...?)
Thanks a lot for any comment
