2)Just get used to my Zaurus SL-5500 using QPDF, which has a 320x240 screen but can zoom/pan.

The only eReader that does what I want is the iLiad, which is outside my budget, and still wouldn't that much better than using my Zaurus.

Any other suggestions/alternatives?
The iLiad would be much better than your Zaurus with an 8" screen and 1024x768 resolution. But you are right it is pricey which is a function of its 8" display and touch screen technology.
