So, since it is text, then I will assume that it can display just fine on a 6" screen. If price is your determining factor then you might concentrate on two current books:
Ectaco Jetbook - This unit has some fanatical users. It is the cheapest new unit out there at $199 on NewEgg. It has an LCD display instead of an eInk display, but since it is not backlit, many users feel that it is still easy on the eyes. I believe this is also a bit smaller (5 inches?).
Astak EzReader - Buy it on Frys.com and wait for it to show up on sale. You should be able to get it for around $230.
Now in terms of the wild card choices (I don't know much about them, but they may fit your criteria).
The Foxit eSlick Reader. Frankly this one is usually seen as a bit of a looser since it ony reads pdf's. I don't know anyone that has one. However, since your pdf's are text, they may reflow fine on the Foxit. Its possible it could be quite a bargain. I think the reader will either fade away or be significantly changed so there is a risk of obsolescence.
Upcoming 5" readers. There are a number of 5" readers expected in the next few weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if one of these is under $200. Since these are a few weeks from announcement, you are probably seeing them a couple of months away from general availability.
