I have been looking at the Kobo waterproof ones. The aura sounds good but I think I gleaned it has no cover on the USB port, is that so? Seems mad as sand will love that...

I also like to put technical documents that will never be in Amazon's library onto my ereader. The Sony would accept pretty much anything.

So Kobo seem to fit me better. Any advice?
Sounds like you should look at the Kobo Aura H20. It has a slightly larger than average screen at 6.8". It has a flap that covers the ports to keep out water and dust. It has an SD card slot in case those technical documents are particularly large.

I'm not sure how well Kobo handles PDFs. I don't really know that any e-ink device is especially good with PDFs though.
