Only gonna quote/rebuke the points I disagree with. If I didn't list one of your points, it's because I'm not really gonna argue, or someone has already done it for me.

Depends on if you like ads. 10$ of savings for the ad-free version isn't enough to get me to switch away from Sony's stuff at this point. Had their prices still been in the 200$+ range, no contest.

With all the silly measurements being made, and that the previous Kindles magically went from 2 weeks to 2 months based on how they measure, when the Nook Touch came out... can we really be sure that this is really an accurate comparison?
I do amateur astronomy, and one of the biggest problems when buying gear there is that mounts for telescopes have weight capacities listed in the specs. But every brand measures their capacity differently. So you can't compare the capacity of any two mounts directly, sometimes even with the same brand you can't do it. I see the same problem here when they keep changing how they measure battery life.
As I've said in other threads though, the raw specs themselves only tell part of the tale. Ignoring the software feature set and stability may come back to bite some folks. Amazon has a great integrated purchasing story, although I've always enjoyed Sony's feature set more (since I tend to shop around for books, and like having my library with me, auto-organized by Calibre). You can't really quantify that in specs, nor can you ignore it, although it can be much more subjective than other measures.
