In the US until 22nd and 450$ budget for an ereader... What should I buy?
Hi,

I'm in the US until the 22nd and want to buy an ereader here... I live in China.
Originally, I was planning on buying the Irex DR800sg but I think that won't work after all...


Here are what I'd like:
- read epub (because some of the programing book shops like pragprog use that format)
- Ability to show monospaced fonts (useful from programing books)
- Possibility to read pdf files in good conditions (mostly text based pdf files though)
- supports a lot of format
- possibility to annotate with a stylus...
- sdk to be able to install applications...

I don't really care about wireless connections, and since amazon doesn't sell ebooks to china I'm not sure if I need it to be able to read ebooks from amazon.

What would you recommend?
Where can I buy it so that it arrives before I live the US? I'm in New York currently

Thanks a lot
