1. e-ink, small and light, $300 or less

2. most of my books will be in pdf form, though most of this is NOT technical, so very few charts, tables and graphs

3. some will be scanned pdfs or pdf printouts of web pages - hoping these will be legible when the reader is in landscape mode

4. Outside of pdfs, much of my other reading will be RSS feeds, and it seems like Calibre is the way to go for that, so a reader that works well with Calibre seems prudent

5. Wireless connectivity would be nice, but not critical, as I can connect the reader to my laptop every morning and update the RSS feeds and download any pdf docs I want to read that day.

6. Durability - a reader that will hold up to the rough and tumble of life

From what I've read, it seems the Sony PRS600 would be a good choice (plus Sony has it on sale for $200 shipped). What do people who've tried the 600 think? Any other readers I should consider?
