I recently went through a similar process myself, although my requirements were perhaps less stringent than yours. I ended up with the Sony PRS-T2 which suited my requirements perfectly and I’m very pleased with it.
I dismissed Amazon/Kindle for the same reasons you did. My primary reading formats were going to be epub and pdf and I think the Sony handles pdf’s really well. I also wanted a touch screen, wi-fi, expandable memory and the ability to download and read e-books from my local library all of which the Sony can do. Another bonus of the Sony I’ve found is how light it is—I think it’s one of the lightest e-readers on the market. The only features it seems to lack that I would have liked is a higher resolution screen and a back light, both of which I can happily live without.
I have no idea what the Sony’s capabilities are with regards to non-English translation and dictionaries as that wasn’t an issue for me.
It might be worth taking a look at as it seems to fulfill your primary requirements and as Sony are bringing out another model in a few months the T3, it might be worth having a look at that one too.
