So Many Choices! Require Simplicity!

Hello all,

I am new to the forum and have joined because I really would like some knowledgeable experience on getting an e-reader. To be honest, I never gave it a 2nd thought before.

I am a pilot and travel a LOT! I carry a very heavy Hand Bag, which more often than not, has at least 2 500-pagers in it!
A friend of mine suggested an e-book reader, so here I am.

1) I ALWAYS have my Apple MBP with me, so I really don't require wifi/wireless or mobile connectivity.
2) I travel hand-HEAVY-so size is a factor.
3) I carry an iphone, so I don't require mp3/browsing/email/3G...
4) I DON'T LIVE IN THE STATES, so how would I get content? Free or Otherwise? What has DRM got to do with books?
Does one need to get rid of it?
5) Good Battery Life much appreciated, but not imperative.
6)Ease of use-Should read many formats with not much fuss..converting, etc
7) Price-I am not going to spend more than $300 it. Cheaper the better.
8) Are there any color readers?

Thank you
Regards
AP
