- Good at reading PDF (meaning: not too slow page-turning and possibly PDF reflow)
- E-ink + backlight for night reading


Thank you for answers/suggestions/comments.

It might be a little hard for you to find, depending on where you live, but the Sony PRS-T3 is close:

- has buttons; you still need to use touchscreen for menu navigation but having page turn, back, menu, and home buttons available cuts down on how often you need to touch the screen

- medium-ish memory; comes with around 1.5GB built it and a micro SD slot for memory card

- bookshop agnostic; uses Adobe DRM so you can buy from any epub seller

- PDF reading; around the same as other readers for page turns, but you can read many PDFs in reflow mode

- e-ink screen. No backlight but there is an OEM cover with integrated backlight if you want.
