Other than the one you mentioned, which I know nothing about, all color ereaders are tablets, which is like a computer screen, and doesn't do well in sunlight.

For pdf files, you are going to want a large screen.

Yes, the JetColor is the only color ereader just now.

The Onyx M92 is perhaps the best of the large (9.7") screen eInk devices currently available. You can find out more about it in the Onyx forum here.

I use a Tablet PC w/ a transflective display which is daylight viewable as my main machine, and my usage includes using it as an e-book reader. With an SSD and extended battery I get ~6--8 hrs. per battery (and carry a spare).

It kills me that no one has made an acceptable replacement yet (I need an active stylus w/ pressure input, daylight viewable display, decent colour and a number of opensource apps --- I like having certain commercial apps (ArtRage, Creaturehouse Expression, Autodesk Sketchbook, Macromedia FreeHand, Microsoft Journal, &c.) but would be willing to forego them for a new machine w/ the right specs.
