The Kindle 2 is $259 delivered in the US; you're friend will be schlepping it to PK, that's pretty close to your price range. And the screen is bigger than the Sony PRS 300 series.

I was thinking about whether dictionary lookup would work in PDFs too? No-one seems to have addressed this (I'm afraid I don't know).
I would not recommend the Kindle 2 for PDFs; dictionary lookup does not work, and the general implementation of PDF in Kindle 2 is very 'basic' - i.e. only really usable for PDFs created for a 6" screen size. I don't know if it's better on Kindle DX??
