So Many choices - What's your recommendation?

Hi All,

If I may, I would like to request suggestions from all the people that have been happy with an e-reader they own and love.

I used to have an Astak EZreader Pro and love-love-loved it!!! Sadly it died.
Now I'm looking to replace it so I can enjoy my convenient reading once again, but i find myself overwhelmed with options (and sometimes underwhelmed with some product offerings).

I know i will be hugely disappointed if I don't enjoy my new reader as much as the last one, so hope you all have insight to help make a better decision.

I'll be honest, I'm kind of picky. I'm trying to research as much as I can but still can't tell some simple things. (ie: will a kindle or a kobo read all/any of my non-drm books?)
I have a pretty large library (I use calibre) in many formats but it has all been collected - not purchased.
What I'm looking for:
- Eink screen
- good battery life ( linux vs android as OS?)
- removable storage such as SD (I can switch out cards to change libraries)
- pdf reflow (I realize none are perfect)
- I would like to be able to rotate the screen and zoom font
- pocket sized 5"-6" screen or (120x165x20cm)/(4.75"x6.5"x0.75") in case

currently I've been looking at the Onyx AfterGlow 2 and the Energy Sistem Ereader Pro. My concern with these are primarily battery life and I really don't need all the extra functionality they offer.

Any wisdom?

Curtis
