As to my other requirements, I realize I can achieve them with add-ons, but they cost money: Nook ($149) + additional battery ($30) + black skin ($20) + additional 2GB storage ($5) = $204. K3 already has these features built-in and it's only $139. That's why I'm hoping N2 adds them.

well a few of the things mentioned in your list are a positve purchase. buying an extra battery is optional and does not have to be done at the time of purchase and certainly wouldn't recommend it within the first year since it is already under warranty and if you have a bad one it will be replaced for free.
But certainly to have that option available to you in future is a HUGE postive over the Kindle. Eventually these batteries do lose their ability to hold a charge and if you don't want a new Kindle (essentially making your old one a disposable device) or don't have the money for a brand new one, you have to mail it back in. That is very very annoying.
Black skin! well most people also buy a cover for their Kindle as well so that is sort of a wash.
Additional storage is another great positive purchase and the price of a basic 2g card is fairly insignifigant. m But again it's also optional and by no means has to be done at point of purchase.
