Another great contender, still available from Amazon.com shipping globally, at least for a little while more... the Kindle DX "Graphite" Global 3G.
They got me at the cheap price (and the cheap official leather cover, $189 + just $9.99), so I pulled the trigger on it. As a regular e-ink reader, it is wonderful, just plain no complaints great. As a PDF reader, well, there are some issues but I can see it still being more useful for the purpose than a regular e-ink Kindle.
I wrote a review on it and took a couple of photos, here is the Kindle DX in the middle, a Kindle 2 on the left and Kindle 3 Keyboard on the right:
