Well you could try the Kobo, it fits most of those requirements (not sure about OSX support) and is definitely one of the cheaper readers out there. Although I hear the Kobo softwear is just terrible, so maybe not.

You could also look at the Jetbook or Aluratek Libre, there seem to be a lot of deals with lately so getting it for cheap shouldn't be a problem.

The Astak EZReader Pocket Pro is also around 200 I think, so that might be worth looking into.

You could always do drag and drop onto an sd card, at least that is what I do with my Sony or use calibre if you don't like the Sony software. But since you are looking for something other than Sony I guess that doesn't really matter.
