Except for the boot time, I don't see any other concerns in your list could be a problem for current e-ink reader.
* Battery Life – as high as possible
Battery is another industry which doesn't follow Moore's law, why will plastic logic have new magic?
* Lightweight
I think every e ink reader are lightweight compare to books.
* Very fast boot time (like opening a book)
This one is tough, I don't see why plastic logic will have advantage on this too.
* Large book storage capacity
With SD or other extension cards, this is not a problem.
* PDF and business document support essential
most reader have basic support, bigger screen is the best way to display complex pdf, otherwise you can check Foxit eslick which can reflow and cut to content width for pdf.
* E-ink display (read it in the sun, no eye-strain)
* Ability to annotate
Is this a problem?
* Be able to read books from my favourite authors
That depends on ebook publisher, not reader.

Besides, I think Plastic Logic is promising because of its form factor, flexible screen, which are not your concern...
