I'm thinking of buying and ebook so I can read PDF documents (mainly) such documents will usually be technical books (java, c++, c# etc. etc.).

The key things for me are 6" screen, expansion, hackable/customisable OS/firmware (i.e. linux or CE), wifi, fast processor. To this end the Nook seems to be the best and cheapish.

Are there any other ones that meet this criteria that I should consider?

Wireless plans, DRM are of no consequence (hackable OS negates DRM).

Oh and need to be able to buy them in the UK - somehow.
