Smile E-ink in the land of Oz...

Hello everyone,

I'm interested in buying an ebook reader...
I'm a student and have many course notes which are digitally available. Most of the time in office formats but occasionally in PDF. This isn't a dealbreaker though, because i'm happy to convert PDF to viewable images for use on the device.

I'm prepared to spend up to about AU$400 (roughly US$360ish).

The reason i'm bothering to start a thread is because I just can't find them here in Australia. I've got no idea where even to start and i'd love to be able to tinker briefly with a device before I drop a few dollars to buy it.

Must be e-ink.
Annotation would rock - but i'm thinking i've priced myself out of that game.
Searchability would also rock but i'm guessing that leaves the irex and the kindle - both which seem a little difficult to get over here.

I am willing to buy from overseas (if anyone can suggest a reputable seller) - but it would be cool to see in person first.

Don't care about brands

Any comments/responses/suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks for your time.
