I'm a bit curious about what you mean my that. It seems most of us who use it do so BECAUSE it looks most like paper typesetting. I would be interested in what other criteria you are looking at.
I would also agree with you that none of the current e-ink technology based readers will be suitable for your needs. The suggestions above are definitely good ones that you might look into. Since I read with both the eReader and a tablet I can understand some of what you are asking for. Maximum size, color and size choices are very important.
On the bright side, if you do decide to get a small tablet you could probably just use the cheapest convertible model you can find if it will be used mostly as a reader. It really doesn't take much in the way of HD, CPU, ram or graphics to make a decent reader. Even what would be considered an obsolete model would be more than adequate. They would be more expensive than the Nokia or Pepper Pad but the trade off would be a much larger screen as well as a more storage on the unit itself.
