Help, not sure which to buy

I'm looking at the smaller, more pocket-ready readers. So I want a 5 or 6 inch screen.

Things I'm concerned about:
screen glare
text contrast
file compatability - I would primarily be reading pdf, doc, txt, prc and lit format books as that is most of what I have already. I hear of a lot of problems with pdf books not being re-flowable, and that has me the most concerned.

I would prefer to be able to search text if possible.
Would like it to take SD cards or other external memory.
Don't need/want: backlighting, wifi, touch, mp3s, etc.

The ones that I keep coming up to are the Pocketbook 360, the Astak EZ Reader, and the Sony pocket reader 505. I'm not sure how to choose between them. Can anyone help me understand the differences between these, and which might be best for me.

Thanks
