First of all, thanks for the point-by-point reply! I really appreciate it.

I'll keep that in mind - I guess I have to see it physically before I admit defeat on this one. Sorry. >_<

Most eBook readers don't handle PDF very well... just putting that out right up front. PDF is a layout description, and most PDF files are designed for US Letter or A4 paper sizes, which is much larger than the typical 6" or 7" screen.
Yup, I'm prepared to stick to reading on my phone/PC for PDFs if the reading experience totally sucks.

... eInk is NOT ideal for these tasks. The refresh is very slow and video would be a complete failure, even if it were possible (it is, through various hacks, etc, but not worth it)...
But wiki and tvtropes are mostly text. I won't be viewing videos - not even pictures if online viewing of manga would make it super laggy.

Given your list I would point you toward the Kobo Aura HD or the Onyx T68.
I don't think there will be support available for Onyx T68 in my country, so ...
