I would say the iRex DR800SG with a screen size of 8.1" and the Sony PRS-900 (aka Daily Edition) with a 7" screen. I know the Sony will do landscape pretty well. Cannot answer about the iRex. Both are not yet out. The iRex is supposed to be out sometime this month and the Sony not out till December.

Unfortunately the larger sized e-readers are outside of the price point for the OP.
To the OP: If an expansion slot is needed then I would rule out the Sony PRS-300, they don't have an expansion slot. I agree with Wallcraft, the Astak PP is a fantastic device (I have one). I have read some good reviews on the Jetbook, however the downside IMHO is they don't come with a protective cover (comes with a sleeve but I don't believe they are solid enough to reduce damage to the screen).
Just something that might help, a couple of youtube videos on each.
