I'm going to go out on a limb and say a new Kindle DX. Normally I'd never promote a Kindle, but apparently it's going to have an upgraded screen, which should help improve readability a little bit. It's got a pretty simple store interface, if your intention is to simply buy books without the hassles that most ebook enthusiasts have to undertake. There are disadvantages to Kindle's closed market, but it's about as simple and untethered as you can get, and the screen is large enough for a wide variety of reading without being comically huge.
I would also recommend the iPad as it has more store options, but you seem to be looking for a stripped-down device. The Kindle DX is not bad for that. It's possible that other manufacturers will be announcing product revisions or successors that use the newer E-Ink displays, but it's hard to know when they'll come to market.
I would most definitely not recommend a Sony 505, as another suggested.
