BeachMouse - those were all the features I was looking for in an ereader and I went with the Kobo and I've been very pleased. I specifically didn't want the extra bells and doodads on the Kindle (especially the keyboard taking up all that space).
I also really dislike that Kindles only read ebooks from Amazon. Kobo's are more flexible - they don't care where you get your ebooks from.
The new Kobo also matches the Kindle in screen specs, etc. Or, if you don't need the latest and greatest, you can get the original Kobo (no wifi) for $99 right now (that's what I have and I love it).
Good luck!
