I personally am bothered by the lack of a SD card slot in the new kindle. I currently carry all of my non-amazon purchased content (personal files, free ebooks, etc) on my SD card -- stuff that I can't delete to "make room" and then re-download if I want to read it. I can pop it in, copy off what I want to read, and then remove it again, not using much battery at all. Doing that keeps down the number of pages of books I have in my library and yet I can still have my "whole" library with me, including files that may be larger than average due to a multitude of pictures.
Not to mention that one of the touted "features" of the kindle is the ability to play music while you read, or play audio books. Yes, you can use your MP3 player to do that, but only having 1.5 gb of user available space really restricts the use of this "feature"
