having said that, ceBit is coming up at the beginning of march, so you may want to wait a couple of weeks to see if there are any new devices that could fit your requirements.
also, since budget is a concern, check our flea-market forum and ebay for used devices. you might be able to get a deal.

What ePub is really good for is replacing PDF for technical document with a proper reflow for small screens. You can have complex layouts that will reflow and look good. Som once publisher relize this, I'm thinking PDF will go bye-bye.
