Default These new fangled e-reader things (teach me)

I'm looking at ereaders as I have just found out a couple of American mags I read do subscriptions now for digital only copies. Theres about $30 each difference between printed and digital only.

Another mag I read does a digotal copy through iTunes, bit thats only a quid cheaper per copy. As that would need an iPad, I would have to get 400 copies to make it worth while! I barely buy 3 copies of that mag a year.

So, whats a good ereader out there? It would need to be able to have stuff uploaded to it, support PDF's, be compatable with Mac's and have a colour screen.

I know theres a new Kindle due out soon with a colour screen, but of the 2 kindles I've played with so far, I am less than impressed.

Blackberry Playbook with Kobo installed? Around the 150 mark. Downsides to tablets over the proper e-reader is battery life and weight
