I don't really know if what I want exists, but here's what I am looking for:

Must have:
No wi-fi/wireless connectivity of any kind (per work rules)
No camera/audio recording
Reads PDFs
7+ hour battery life
Easy to switch on and off to conserve battery or a sleep mode.

Would ideally have:
Color screen
Ability to view images, preferable PNGs, easily and in sequence/sorted.
Decent price (under $100).

So what I am working with here? I appreciate any help!
Reading pdfs on an e-ink screen that is smaller than 9.7 inches is highly undesirable. There are relatively few e-ink readers that are 9.7 inches or larger. The good news is that the Ectaco Jetbook color 2 fits your specs, with the exception of price and WIFI. (I do not own one, but it does not seem to have wireless connectivity. It seems that although the user manual on their site does not mention and neither does the specs, other sites list that it has WIFI) The Kindle DX has wireless, as does the Onyx Boox M92.

So if you must have e-ink, then consider the Jetbook.
