For the "offers easy navigation of a large library" point, you said that the Kobo and Nook do a good job of this. Are Kindles cumbersome to use with lots of books on the device? I would have thought the physical keypad would make it easy to search for genres, tags, authors, and so on.
If I eliminated the need for wifi, would your recommendations change?

Many of the light accessories are universal, and there are a decent selection of device-specific lights for most models.
Personally, I find navigation a bit clunky on all the devices I've used. Not that it's difficult, it isn't, but there's room for improvement. Ereaders aren't really designed with heavy interaction in mind, so I guess it's expected. I think we'll see improvement as time goes by.
Physical keyboard vs. touch pad: It basically equates to the same experience, with respect for personal preference. just a different surface. Gets the job done.
As was stated, any ereader you choose is gonna come with some kind of profit-driven restrictions dictated by a company the size of a small nation.
