Help Deciding on first Reader...

Hey folks,

First post and am in the market for a reader.

I don't read books so much as I do newspapers, magazines, and journals. I don't really care for audio capability, however I think Wi-Fi would be a must. This is what I would hope for.

- A device that would automatically retrieve, via Wi-Fi or some other method, the latest news, articles, and magazines. When I wake up, I know that today's paper is already loaded and I can read it on my way out to work. The next week's economist would be in when its out. If such a device exists, that would be my first filter.

- A device that uses eInk, possibly color. While I thought about the iPad, the cost, battery life, and the LCD put me off. My eyes are sensitive and I think the LCD would do more harm than good.

- Ease of travel. Not too big/heavy but not too small either.

-Can read uploaded files such as PDF, DOC, etc...

- Something affordable but has good value. I'd be willing to get the iPad (once it goes down in price) except for the above cons, but I'm not sure of the alternatives.

Could someone help me take this first leap.
