Answers.Text: These pages get updated fairly often, so I think it's best to point out where to find informations rather than posting here some specs that would be surpassed every time that a new model comes out.

  Additional requirements: Supports reading my own PDFs and ePubs.

  The device that you need is basically an [e-ink ereader](http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-book_reader), all of them have the features that you have requested.
  
  Since there are many different brands and models, each one with its own set of different features, I suggest you to take a look at the comparison page on [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_e-book_readers), that has in one place all the informations that you need to make your choice; if you understand italian, also look on [eBookReaderItalia](http://modelli.ebookreaderitalia.com/) (anyway it's just a table filled with tech specs, so even if you don't speak my language you should be able to understand it nonetheless).
  
  There is also another comparison page on [Mobileread wiki](http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_Reader_Matrix), but it is a bit outdated .
