Remember at roughly $200, there really are only about four choices: 1) Sony PRS-300, 2) Astak Pocket Pro, 3) Ectaco Jetbook Lite, and 4) Alurtek's reader. The last two are based on monochrome LCDs while the first two are based on e-ink reflective displays. Although the eBookman can be considered a choice, it is limited to one propreitary format and is outclassed by the above readers on more than one area.
As far as wanting a ebook reader with a screen about the size of a paperback, you'd be paying about $400+ (USD). The typical paperback novel is 8" in diameter. Most ebook readers have screens that are 5" or 6". Some come in 9.7", but is usually much more expensive. Initially, 5" and 6" screen sizes might seem a bit small but over time you'll grow accustomed.
