Thank you both for the advices. The devices mentioned in my first post were "disqualified" simply because I want a bit more or something else in case of any of those devices. With the exeption of Kindle 2 and PRS-700 I think they do not belong to the latest generation. I dislike Kindle 2 mostly because I believe it is not open enough and its' main advantage is not really working in Europe (Croatia) where I live. I would not buy PRS-700 knowing they sacrified some of the screen quality because of the light and the touchscreen.
IMHO, the 6" is the smallest screen I could live with (7" would be optimal) and the devices having the actual generation of LCD screens are out of the question. That takes care of 2) and 3).
The Txtr is definitely an interesting device but the Astak could be even more interesting as robertb (Astak's ambassador on the MR forums) mentioned some negotiations with Pixel Qi.
I believe the PRS-700 with the screen quality of PRS-505 or Kindle 2 would be an absolutely acceptable choice for me.
