Cool best eReader from typographical point of view?

Hello Mobilereaders,
it's been a while since I've been active on this site. Haven't been keeping up with the latest developments. I'm a longtime Sony 500/505 user. Just got a Kindle Paperwhite. The screen is nice but I'm disappointed with the typography. When I try to research various eReaders, not much is said on that point.

I'm looking for some advice on which eReaders have the the following:
  • multi-level ToC
  • pdf displayed "as is" instead of converted/formatted as on the Kindle Paperwhite (that way I can make a formatted pdf that has similar typography as print books)

Other options which would be nice but aren't necessary include:
  • either a ragged right option OR full justification with hyphenation to prevent unacceptable word spacing in a given line
  • good resolution
  • a more consistent touch interface (sometimes I have to press a couple times on the Kindle Paperwhite)
  • wi-fi access to a well-stocked online store

Would you assist me with some advice on these options, and which readers have them (especially the two in the first list)? Thanks in advance.
Happy New Year.
Ryan
