In my search for a suitable ebook reader (and I have more-or-less the same criteria as you) I had initially settled on going for a Nokia 770. However, I chanced to stumble across some forums where people complained of a hardware design defect in (at least) one batch of 770s. The defect would cause the LCD screen to fry on system startup (and Nokia support did not seem very supportive). It is not certain exactly which batch of 770s have this problem and how to indentify that batch! Google "nokia 770 wsod" for more.
So I had to drop 770 and start searching again
.
IOW, (IMHO) 770 comes with a risk that you must be aware of before you decide to go for it!
All the best and do let us (at least me
) know what you finally settled for?
