My SmartDevices Q7 ($211.12, shipped) has a 12 hour battery life. After that, I can run another 8 hours off (4) AAs, or 24 hours off a Li-Ion battery pack. (The Q7 can charge off USB while you read.)

It fits in the front pocked of my jeans, slacks, and suit pants every day.

I don't live within 12 hours of the beach, but my Q7 is waterproof in that I read it outside in the rain. I'm eagerly awaiting the Pixel Qi screen - both for extending battery life, and for outdoor readability.

I hold my Q7 in one hand while sipping a diet coke. Is that close?

Several of my very good friends have BeBooks. The last one to convert is waiting on his V7 (an upgrade to the Q7) to be delivered.
