Exactly what you are looking for, the iLiad by iRex:
http://www.irextechnologies.com/products/iliad

It uses the same display as the Librie, but runs Linux and Java and let's 
you read PDFs off of standard SD and CF cards.  And it's available today. 
(You'll have to have it shipped to Japan though.)
