I do have a laptop, but it does get to be encumbersome sometimes, and I'm not wanting to get a netbook or anything related to Apple (5G iPod video functionality stopped working after software version 3.1 - I believe? - was released and nothing I did, and believe me, I tried every little thing I read or was told might help, short of calling Apple and paying pretty much half of what I paid for the device in the first place to get it fixed, so NO Apple products please!) or Sony (my boyfriend bought himself the PRS-505 last tax season and it did wonderfully until his birthday in November, when day of his birthday, it had lines appear on the screen, and, much like in the case of my iPod, nothing we tried to fix the problem ourselves seemed to work, and, again, like with my iPod, we would have had to shell out pretty much what he paid for the device in the first place just to fix it. It didn't even last one single whole period of 365 days before it crapped out. So, please, NO Sony products, either!). Unless of course they are the only option I have.
The two main features I am looking for are best for comics/manga PDF files and SD card. I don't really need the biggest screen, just something that can actually handle the processing of the files I'll mainly be using it for (I personally believe that I myself had a hand in killing the PRS-505 for I would read 50+ PDF manga books - with an average of 18-19 pages each - in one sitting and I don't think it was able to handle it.).
Any help would be much appreciated!!

I would not suggest getting a ebook reader for manga especially if they are using pdfs. Pdf support is dreadful in the smaller ereaders like the story. it is very very slow in loading new images and the zooming is absolutely dreadful. get a tablet like the archos 5 or wait for sometime for newer releases. i read several manga but prefer my laptop
