I have a Toshiba Excite 7.7 and absolutely love it for indoor reading.

However, I'm doing a lot of camping, so I need an ereader just for outside. Therefore, that is the main requirement – no glare outside. Since I’m usually reading several books at once, it won’t be a problem to use the Excite inside and the new one outside if necessary.

Also high on my list is some sort of sd capability and long battery life (so no lcd).

I'd like something relatively cheap, as it would be my secondary reader. I need at least a 6", although bigger would be nice. I don't need wifi (although it would be nice) - definitely not 3g.

I've considered the Sony Daily, but I understand it has glare problems outside. Also the Kindle DX – but it doesn’t have the sd and it is expensive.

Any advice?
