#1: I agree that this is an issue.

#2: I haven't yet had issues like this with mine; mine hibernates fine.

#3: Yes, the documentation is sketchy. I think this is somewhat common, IME. But either way, it makes for a hard sell to consumers if they don't understand what the device can do. The features should be clearer to consumers.

#4: I must write slowly; the annotations are working fine for me.

#5: I actually think this is a feature for me; I don't enjoy devices that are small and thin. We have a kindle and it doesn't feel sturdy to me. To me, the PE feels both solid and highly portable. It's not a "pocket" device to me (I think the name was a mistake... but then I think "edge" was a mistake, too. Not at all a name that conveys the virtues of the product.) To me, it's something more than a tiny device and less robust than a netbook in most ways.

#6: I think the marketing was just not clear enough. This was a device that was innovative in several keys ways. It allows me to interact with my web browser and with files to read (and websites to read offline) in ways I love, that are distinctly different from the ways I interact with a desktop. The reviews and marketing I've read make it clear that people reviewing it mostly didn't "get it."

I also think the screen size is lovely; you're getting that mainly-ad-free mobile web joy but large enough to really see the text.
