Yes, the nooks have always worked this way. But if this was about my "damaged" statement, I was talking about the nook
shelves. I have 300 books on B&N. Currently, I could put them all on shelves on my N1 (this would take MANY hours of work), but the minute the device breaks, the work is all gone because the shelving metadata is stored on the device only.

And, I keep forgetting to mention the LOOOONNNNGGG claimed battery life, or is that also of no importance?

It's not an upgrade if you hate touch screens and it can't be turned off. Again, this is subjective. I have cats. They walk on my N1 while reading. Someone who doesn't want a touch screen, period, isn't going to consider "oh, it's there, I just won't use it" as a feature.
Also, if you're going to be upset about fanboi behavior, I feel I should point out that the LOOOOOONG battery life is - based on what I understand of the math - a match to the current Kindle, not better.
