If you need it right now, the Irex DR1000 is really the only one out there that does all that. The Kindle DX is large format and does do PDF, but I've read that it has some issues with PDF.

The DR1000 is pricey, but it really does a good job. I know that there have been threads here about people who have problems or bash Irex for poor support, but I haven't had any major issues with my DR1000 and as for minor issues, there isn't a single electronic device I've ever owned that didn't have an occasional issue. My DR1000 displays PDFs wonderfully and I do have quite a few. I also moved to using it for all my reading because I get more text per screen than on my Iliad. As for battery life, I routinely get 4-5 days before I have to charge it.

I'm really happy with mine, especially the PDF support.

My $0.02 worth.
