Hoodaman,
The latest Cybook *will* be available in the next few months. I should know as I am a corporate officer of NAEB, which is working with Bookeen to market the device here. (
http://www.naebllc.com/ ) It won't meet *all* the criteria of your 'perfect' device, but at least it will meet many of them and be down in the range of what you'd like to pay.
On the one hand, I understand your desire to not get Yet Another Stupid Credit Card. On the other hand, getting the Sony VISA card was, for my mother, a relatively painless process and she's eagerly awaiting her new Sony reader. Yes, she still wants one of the Bookeen devices but she's in a bit of a pickle having broken her latest PDA and needed a replacement soonest. (She's told me that she's going to give her Sony to a friend's child when her Bookeen Cybook arrives. Love that 'give it forward' philosophy.)

Anyway. I did some comparing of what I want to the matrix and the two that I'm sold on for features are the new 3rd gen cybook and the extremely overpriced iRex.
I'm definitely going to be calling that hoover number tomorrow to see if their doors are still open and if so can I play with an E-Ink device just to see. Hoover's about an hour away from me so it wouldn't be too too far to drive...
Thanks NatCh,
Dave
