What ereader hardware "best" with Calibre?

I have been using Calibre to organize my library in anticipation of asking for a new eReader for Christmas. Currently most of the reading I do is in Mobi format using Mobipocket Reader my Netbook and/or Centro cell phone. I have no overt loyalty to the Mobi format. I'm happy to convert to ePub etc (thus my selection of Calibre as the tool of choice).

However, I lust for a "real" ebook reader. My desires and needs are (not in any order of importance) as follow:

- Compact size
- Dictionary support
- Supports multiple ebook formats.
- I'm not very worried about PDF support.
I find it of questionable value on a small screened
device and usually convert to something reflowable.
- Compatible with 64bit Windows 7
- Compatible with Calibre
- 10+ hours battery life.

As I write this my gut feeling favors (in order) the upcoming Irex from Best Buy, a Sony, or the newest (Europe-friendly) Kindle.
