Thanks for the reply "angelbleu" ... The web browser I need to use to access Safari Books Online does not need to be very sophisticated. Safari has a mobile version of their site where 95% of the books are available. That being said the Kindle DX does not have WiFi and uses Sprint's data network which is no-existent in my area.

From all the information I have gathered I think the best device for me would be the iRex Iliad. It has WiFi and can run the Minimo browser. I am not a Linux guy so I am not sure how difficult it is to install. Some screen shots that peoples have sent in look nice, however, others have posted that the text is to small. If the new Barnes and Noble "Nook" had a web browser I would buy it right away.

I think I have to resign myself to the fact that the device I am looking for just does not exist yet.
