As others have suggested , wait until after CES is done. There is the Que, which from everything so far is a super looking 8.5"x11" screen with a lot of ability that fits your stated needs. Also, there were hints from Pocketbook that those waiting for a larger format device will be "happy" when CES arrives. And odds are there will be a wide variety of large format reading devices with several different display tech's...given the price of the Entourage eDGe at about $490US:

It seems to have nice set of features but is still rough around the edges, still it will likely put pressure on the Que price so no way it will be near the kilobuck price point many have been pushing...likely those are shills anyway.
